Abstract excerpt
Gastrin is important for stimulating acid secretion as well as differentiating gastric mucosal cells via cholecystokinin-2 receptors (CCK-2Rs). In turn, CCK acts preferably via CCK-1R to release somatostatin, and somatostatin has been postulated to exhibit a tonic inhibition of gastrin bioactivity. The present study was designed to examine the hypothesis that CCK-1R and 2R may act in opposite directions in...
