    Notes: Abstract Several gastric functions are modulated by the sympathetic nervous system, but local mechanisms involved in the control of noradrenaline release are largely unknown. Overflow of endogenous noradrenaline was studied from isolated rat stomach incubated in Ussing chambers allowing the separate determination of mucosal and serosal overflow. Spontaneous noradrenaline overflow was similar at the mucosal and serosal side, but electrical field stimulation caused a frequency-dependent increase in noradrenaline overflow selectively at the serosal side. Evoked noradrenaline overflow was blocked by tetrodotoxin, not affected by indometacin and markedly enhanced (by about 250%) by yohimbine. In the presence of indometacin and yohimbine, sulprostone (an agonist at EP1/EP3 receptors) and misoprostol (an agonist at EP2/EP3 receptors) reduced the noradrenaline overflow evoked by stimulation at 3 Hz maximally by about 80% (EC50: 6 nmol/l and 11 nmol/l, respectively). The EP1 receptor selective antagonist AH 6809 (6-isopropoxy-9-oxoxanthene-2-carboxylic acid) did not antagonize the inhibition by sulprostone. Noradrenaline overflow evoked by stimulation at 1 Hz and 3 Hz was increased by scopolamine by about 50% and almost completely inhibited by oxotremorine. Neither, histamine nor the H3 receptor selective agonist (R)-α-methyl-histamine, nor the H1, H2 and H3 selective receptor antagonists mepyramine, cimetidine and thioperamide significantly affected noradrenaline overflow evoked by stimulation at 1 Hz or 3 Hz. In conclusion, impulse-induced noradrenaline release in the rat stomach is controlled by multiple presynaptic mechanisms involving α2-adrenergic autoreceptors, EP3 prostanoid and muscarine heteroreceptors, whereas histaminergic mechanisms do not appear to be significant.

    Notes: Abstract. The nature of the histamine receptor mediating inhibition of 5-HT release was investigated in strips of the porcine small intestine by investigating the effects of histamine ligands on the overflow of endogenous 5-HT and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). The overflow was measured by HPLC, combined with electrochemical detection and represents calcium-sensitive 5-HT release from enterochromaffin cells, as reported previously. The histamine H3 receptor selective agonists (R)-α-methyl-histamine and imetit inhibited the overflow of 5-HT maximally by 50–60%, with EC50 values of 48 and 3.2 nmol/l, respectively. Effects on 5-HT overflow were always accompanied by similar effects on the overflow of 5-HIAA. Thioperamide (100 nmol/l) shifted the concentration response curve of (R)-α-methyl-histamine to the right (pKB value 8.38). The inhibitory effect of 1 μmol/l (R)-α-methyl-histamine was antagonized in a concentration-dependent manner by thioperamide (IC50: 65 nmol/l) and dimaprit (IC50: 8.6 μmol/l); however, the effect of (R)-α-methyl-histamine was weakly antagonized by burimamide (by 38% at 100 μmol/l) and not significantly affected by other H3 receptor antagonists, such as impromidine, betahistine and phenylbutanoyl-histamine (each up to 100 μmol/l). In conclusion, H3 receptors mediating inhibition of 5-HT release from porcine enterochromaffin cells have a particular pharmacological profile indicating that heterogeneity of H3 receptors may exist. The data suggest that histamine H3 receptors modulating 5-HT release in pig small intestine do not belong to either H3A or H3B receptors as defined in rat tissue.
