Abstract

The literature is reviewed in an account of the part played by the adrenergic and cholinergic systems in the regulation of gastrin secretion. As matters now stand, it can be said that, whereas the adrenergic system is capable of activating such secretion, the cholinergic system appears to be capable of modulating it by inhibition rather than stimulation. While it can be agreed that mediation of the adrenergic function occurs via the beta receptors, the possibility that the alpha receptors may also be responsible under certain conditions cannot be ruled out.
