We investigated the existence of an enterogastrone in rats induced by duodenal administration of oleic acid. Acid secretion by the luminally perfused stomach was stimulated in anesthetized rats by intravenous infusion of 0.3 micrograms.kg-1.h-1 pentagastrin. Intraduodenal administration of 3 mmol of oleic acid produced a profound inhibition (94%) of pentagastrin-stimulated acid output in 10 rats (P less than 0.01). Of several peptides in plasma including secretin, neurotensin, somatostatin, and peptide YY, only secretin was found to increase significantly (P less than 0.001). A similar degree of inhibition of acid output (93%) was caused by porcine secretin, 5.6 pmol.kg-1.h-1, given intravenously to mimic the plasma level of secretin produced by oleic acid infusion. The inhibitory effect of oleic acid on the acid secretion was completely reversed by intravenous injection of a rabbit antisecretin serum but not by a normal rabbit serum. These observations strongly suggest that the inhibition was mediated via circulating secretin. The inhibition produced by either oleic acid or secretin was completely blocked by indomethacin. The blocking action was completely reversed by intravenous administration of 48 micrograms.kg-1.h-1 prostaglandin E2. We conclude that endogenous secretin is a major enterogastrone released by oleic acid in anesthetized rats and that the inhibitory action of secretin requires endogenous prostaglandins.
