Abstract
Histamine and VIP produce an elevation of cAMP production in gastric glands isolated from the human fetal stomach at 15 weeks gestation. These effects were attributed to the activation of 2 distinct receptor-cAMP systems, one being sensitive to histamine in parietal cells, and the other being sensitive to VIP in muco-peptic cell populations. The results suggest that histamine and VIP may play a role in inducing gastric secretion during fetal life in man.
