Abstract

In dispersed mucosal cells prepared from rabbit and guinea pig stomach, the secretion of intrinsic factor was constant (0.3-0.4%/min) for at least 30 min incubation at 37°C. Histamine or isobutyl methylxanthine increased cyclic AMP and intrinsic factor secretion in both cell preparations. Isobutyl methylxanthine potentiated and cimetidine competitively inhibited (Ki=5·10-7 M) both effects of histamine. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1.0 mM), also caused a 3-fold increase in intrinsic factor secretion. These results suggest that in rabbit and guinea pig histamine interacts with H2-receptors to increase cyclic AMP which mediates the rise in the rate of intrinsic factor secretion.
