Stimulation of rat gastric adenylate cyclase by histamine and histamine analogues and blockade by burimamide
Abstract
Histamine, 4-methylhistamine, 3-(beta-aminoethyl)-1,2,4 triazole and betazole, in that order, stimulated adenylate cyclase prepared from rat gastric tissue in a dose-dependent manner. Burimamide, an H(2)-receptor blocking agent, in concentrations of 1-5 x 10(-6) M antagonized this effect. The data lend some support to the hypothesis that elevated levels of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate may be involved in histamine-stimulated gastric secretions and that H(2)-receptors are associated with adenylate cyclase.
