Actions of Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone on the Gastrointestinal Function in Man

L. Ø. Dolva, Kristian F. Hanssen, A. Berstad

Abstract

The pentagastrin-stimulated gastric volume and acid output were measured with and without an i.v. thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) infusion (666 microgram/h). TRH inhibited the pentagastrin (6 microgram/kg s.c.) stimulated volume to 67.5 +/- 8.4% (p less than 0.01) and the acid output to 65 +/- 8.4% of control infusion values (mean +/- S.E.M.). It is concluded that TRH inhibits the pentagastrin-stimulated gastric secretion in man.
