Abstract
The effects of motilin on proline absorption and gastric and biliary secretions were examined in the rat. Prolonged intravenous administration of motilin (50 pmol/kg/min) significantly inhibited (P < 0.05) proline transport across the jejunum and reduced basal acid secretion to 40% of control value. The same concentration of motilin induced choleresis and increased bile output by 32%. Incubation of intestinal strips with different concentrations of motilin produced a dose-dependent inhibitory pattern of proline accumulation in the intestinal cells.
