Using oxygen uptake as an index of the physiological response of isolated parietal cells, the interactions between histamine and gastrin and between histamine and carbamylcholine and the effects of atropine and metiamide on these interactions have been studied. Parietal cells were isolated from canine fundic mucosa by sequential exposure of separated mucosa to collagenase and EDTA. In previous studies carbamylcholine, isobutyl methyl xanthine, gastrin, and histamine have each been shown to increase oxygen uptake by these cells. Isobutyl methyl xanthine greatly enhanced the histamine effect. Carbamylcholine was inhibited by atropine but not by metiamide, histamine was inhibited by metiamide but not by atropine, and gastrin was inhibited by neither, suggesting that each of these agents has a direct action on the parietal cell. In the present studies, potentiating interactions between histamine and carbamylcholine and between histamine and gastrin have been demonstrated. Against a histamine (0.1 and 1 μM) plus isobutyl methyl xanthine (0.1 mM) background, the dose for 50% response for gastrin was approximately 1 nM, and the maximal response was obtained at 0.1 μM. When added to these combinations of stimulants, metiamide and atropine retained their respective specificities against stimulation by histamine and carbamylcholine, in that responses were inhibited to the level that was seen when the component of the pair that was not inhibited was given alone.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
