Abstract
AbstractPentagastrin, a synthetic gastrointestinal hormone, stimulates relative blood flow to the upper, middle, and lower third of the rat colon by two-, four-, and sixfold, respectively. Much smaller inductive effects are seen in the lung (30% increase) and kidney (62% increase), while no significant effects on relative blood flow are observed in the liver after pretreatment with pentagastrin. These effects on blood flow are consistent with pentagastrin-induced effects on DNA synthesis and benzo[α]pyrene hydroxylation activity.
