Since the stomach is the main chloride secretory unit in the gastrointestinal tract, we have investigated the effect of 2 8 2 6 bradykinin on acid secretion in the isolated frog (Rana catesbeiana) gastric mucosa. Bradykinin (2 3 10 to 2 3 10 M) and 9 2 9 2 7 des-Arg -bradykinin (2 3 10 to 23 10 M) were able to stimulate acid secretion in a dose-dependent manner. The bradykinin 2 79 2 85,872 7 (2 3 10 M) and des-Arg -bradykinin (2 3 10 M)-induced acid secretion was unaffected by Thi ,D -Phe -bradykinin (2 3 10 to 2 5 98 2 7 2 3 10 M), a B -kinin receptor antagonist. Interestingly, the B -kinin receptor antagonist, des-Arg -(Leu )-bradykinin (2 3 10 to 21 2 59 2 3 10 M) blocked both bradykinin- and des-Arg -bradykinin-stimulated acid secretion. Although the kininase I inhibitor, D -L -2 6 2 59 mercapto-methyl-3-guanidino-ethyl-propanoic acid (23 10 and 23 10 M) had no effect on des-Arg -bradykinin-induced acid 9 secretion, it inhibited the response to bradykinin. We conclude that bradykinin requires, at least in part, hydrolysis to des-Arg –bradykinin to increase gastric acid secretion and that its effect is mediated by B -kinin receptors.Kinin antagonistKinin analoguesGastric mucosaCarboxipeptidase inhibitionArtigo publicado em periodicoO periódico Peptides concede permissão para depósito deste artigo no Repositório Institucional da UFOP.
