  • Title: Recombinant interleukin-1 beta inhibits gastric acid secretion by activation of central sympatho-adrenomedullary outflow in rats.
    Author: Yokotani K, Okuma Y, Osumi Y.
    Journal: Eur J Pharmacol; 1995 Jun 12; 279(2-3):233-9. PubMed ID: 7556406.
    Abstract:
    The inhibitory mechanism of gastric acid secretion induced by human recombinant interleukin-1 beta was investigated in bilaterally vagotomized, urethane-anesthetized rats. Intracerebroventricular administration of interleukin-1 beta (10, 50 and 100 ng/animal) dose dependently inhibited the gastric acid secretion induced by electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve at 3 Hz. Inhibition of gastric acid secretion induced by interleukin-1 beta (50 ng/animal) was abolished both by splanchnectomy and by phentolamine (5 mg/kg i.m.). Greater splanchnic nerves ramify into the adrenal branch and gastric sympathetic preganglionic branch. The interleukin-1 beta (50 ng/animal)-induced inhibition was also abolished by intracerebroventricular pretreatment with indomethacin (500 micrograms/animal), while pretreatment with the same dose of this reagent by the intraperitoneal route was without effect. These results suggest that centrally administered interleukin-1 beta induces a prostaglandin-mediated central excitation of the sympatho-adrenomedullary system, and the resultant activation of gastric alpha-adrenoceptors inhibits the vagally stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats.
