  • Title: Cholecystokinin octapeptide-evoked [3H]acetylcholine release from guinea pig gallbladder.
    Author: Yamamura T, Takahashi T, Kusunoki M, Kantoh M, Ishikawa Y, Utsunomiya J.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1986 Apr 11; 65(2):167-70. PubMed ID: 2872623.
    Abstract:
    Cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) produced a contractile response in isolated guinea pig gallbladder; the response consisted of scopolamine-sensitive and scopolamine-insensitive components, neither of which were affected by tetrodotoxin or hexamethonium. In the presence of tetrodotoxin, CCK-OP evoked [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) release from strips of gallbladder in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that CCK-OP acts at two sites in the guinea pig gallbladder, viz. the smooth muscle cell and the postganglionic cholinergic nerve terminal.
