Overlapping neural, hormonal, and paracrine pathways finely regulate gastric acid secretion. In rats and guinea pigs, most of the intrinsic neural innervation to the gastric mucosa originates in the myenteric plexus. In contrast, human stomachs have a clearly defined submucosal plexus that contains a variety of transmitters including nitric oxide, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), substance P, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).

Abstract Several peptides have been implicated as central nervous system transmitters regulating various peripheral organ systems. This study examined the central nervous system effects of rat corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), salmon calcitonin (CT), beta-endorphin (beta-End), neurotensin (NT), rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and bombesin (BOM) on gastric acid secretion, gastric emptying and left gastric artery flow in conscious dogs. All of these peptides, injected into the third cerebral ventricle, significantly inhibited gastric acid secretion but not plasma gastrin concentrations stimulated by a liquid protein meal.

In order to study the effects of a physiologic meal on calcitonin (CT) secretion we studied 6 normal male volunteers (aged 28-34 yr). Each subject was given, on two separate days, either a mixed meal or 200 ml of distilled water, in random order. Gastrin (G) was effectively stimulated by the meal (F = 8.
