Cysteamine-induced duodenal ulceration in rats is accompanied by increased circulating gastrin. Although cysteamine appears to exert a direct action on the gastrin cell some groups have provided evidence for an involvement of the autonomic nervous system. The current experiments were performed to determine whether beta-adrenergic or cholinergic (muscarinic) pathways are involved in the acute effect of cysteamine on gastrin secretion in the isolated perfused rat stomach. Cysteamine (1 mM) increased gastrin (IRG) secretion to a maximum ranging between 100% and 192% above basal. A cysteamine concentration of 5mM resulted in peak levels ranging between 150% and 1050% above basal. Addition of atropine or propranalol did not influence the responses obtained. The present results, therefore, do not support a role for either cholinergic or beta-adrenergic pathways in cysteamine-induced gastrin release at the level of the stomach and suggest that in vivo such autonomic effects are mediated extrinsically.

Attenuation of cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer with Cochinchina momordica seed extract through inhibiting cytoplasmic phospholipase A2/5-lipoxygenase and activating γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase.

Background And Aim: Cysteamine is a reducing aminothiol used for inducing duodenal ulcer through mechanisms of oxidative stress related to thiol-derived H(2)O(2) reaction. Cochinchina momordica saponins have been suggested to be protective against various gastric diseases based on their cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. This study was aimed to document the preventive effects of Cochinchina momordica seed extract against cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer as well as the elucidation of its pharmacological mechanisms.

Oral cysteamine therapy prevents natural disease progression in children with cystinosis, but it may cause severe gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms through gastric acid-hypersecretion. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of esomeprazole in controlling cysteamine-induced acid-hypersecretion and GI symptoms in children with cystinosis. Subjects underwent upper GI endoscopy and biopsy, serum gastrin and cysteamine measurements as well as acid secretion studies (basal, maximal and peak acid output, BAO, MAO, PAO) before and during esomeprazole therapy.

The antigastrinic, antisecretory and antiulcer activities of CR 2945, (R)-1-naphthalenepropanoic acid,beta-[2-[[2-(8-azaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl-carbonyl)-4,6-dimethylph enyl] amino]-2-oxoethyl], were investigated in vitro and in vivo in rats and cats. Its activities were compared with those of two gastrin/CCK(B) receptor antagonists, L-365,260 (3R(+)-N-(2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin -3-yl)-N'-(3-methylphenyl)urea and CAM-1028 (4-[[2-[[3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-methyl-1-oxo-2-[[[1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo [2.

Cysteamine has been known to stimulate gastric acid secretion and to induce duodenal ulcers in rats. We investigated the role of gastrin in cysteamine-induced acid hypersecretion in the perfused rat stomach. Intravenous infusion of cysteamine (75 mg/kg/h) resulted in a significant increase in acid secretion, which was accompanied by a marked increase in the plasma gastrin concentration.

In rats, changes in gastric nerve fibers containing gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) in cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer were investigated in relation to the dynamics of gastrin-producing cells (G-cells). Marked increases in gastric acid secretion and serum gastrin level were observed from 2 h after the administration of cysteamine. The number of G-cells was significantly decreased from 2 h after the injection of cysteamine.
