  • Title: Effect of small intestinal resection on somatostatin binding to cytosol of rabbit gastric mucosa.
    Author: Arilla E, Colás B, López-Ruiz MP, Prieto JC.
    Journal: Life Sci; 1986 Oct 13; 39(15):1395-401. PubMed ID: 2876368.
    Abstract:
    Small bowel resection in the rabbit increased gastric (fundus and antrum) somatostatin content and decreased the number of somatostatin binding sites (but not their corresponding affinity values) in gastric (fundus and antrum) cytosol three weeks after surgery. Five weeks after resection the number of somatostatin binding sites at both fundic and antral levels as well as antral somatostatin content returned towards control values whereas the fundic concentration of the peptide remained increased. Present results together with the known inhibitory role of somatostatin on various gastric functions suggest that the gastric alterations showed by animals subjected to small bowel resection may be due, at least in part, to the observed decrease of the number of gastric somatostatin binding sites.
