EFFECTS OF CHLORPROMAZINE AND BROMOLYSERGIC ACID DIETHYLAMIDE ON GASTRIC SECRETION OF ACID INDUCED BY HISTAMINE IN RATS.

In anaesthetized rats in which the lumen of the stomach was perfused with 0.001 to 0.00025 N-sodium hydroxide solution and the pH of effluent fluid was recorded continuously, intravenous administration of chlorpromazine caused transient inhibition of acid secretion. After acid secretion had returned to the control level the responses to histamine were greater than those before chlorpromazine was given. Aminoguanidine, iproniazid and bromolysergic acid diethylamide also potentiated the effect of histamine on acid secretion but the initial inhibition was absent. Indirect evidence from experiments in which mixtures of aminoguanidine with chlorpromazine or bromolysergic acid diethylamide and of iproniazid with chlorpromazine or bromolysergic acid diethylamide were given, suggests that chlorpromazine and bromolysergic acid diethylamide enhance responses to histamine by inhibition of imidazole-N-methyl transferase.

The pH/PCO2 method for continuous determination of human gastric acid and bicarbonate secretion. A validation study.

BACKGROUND: The present paper describes and evaluates a methodologic approach for registration of the fast, interdigestive, motility-related changes in gastric acid and bicarbonate outputs seen in man. METHODS: The technique is based on continuous gastric luminal perfusion and measurements of pH and PCO2 in gastric effluent and concomitant intragastric/duodenal manometry. Fourteen healthy volunteers participated. RESULTS: Direct acid secretory estimations from pH recordings, corrected for hydrogen ion activity, correlated closely with values obtained by conventional titration. After intragastric infusion of bicarbonate, 96 +/- 5% of the newly measured steady-state value was registered virtually instantaneously provided that corrections for the PCO2 electrode time constant and the perfusion/aspiration time were made. In the neutral pH range (pH 5-7), practically full quantitative recovery of intragastrically infused bicarbonate was obtained. In the acid pH interval (pH 2-5) the recovery was significantly lower (53 +/- 6%; p < 0.01). With an aspirate without air admixture and during high perfusion rates (31 and 46 ml/min), full recovery of bicarbonate was obtained also at an acid pH, whereas a reduced perfusion rate (16 ml/min) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the recovery rate. CONCLUSIONS: With the pH/PCO2 technique both acid and bicarbonate assessments have a close to on-line time resolution. Acid output is measured accurately, but the method potentially underestimates actual bicarbonate levels in the acid pH range, a combined effect of diffusion of CO2 into air bubbles in the aspirate and into the gastric mucosa from the lumen. A high gastric perfusion rate minimizes this source of error. The pH/PCO2 technique is well suited for studies of the interaction between secretion and motility in the human stomach.
