The effect of pentobarbital, which stimulates gastric acid secretion in urethane-anesthetized rats, on secretagogue-stimulated or electrically stimulated acid secretion was studied in the rat perfused stomach. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG)-stimulated gastric acid secretion was markedly depressed by intravenous injection of pentobarbital, but was definitely increased by lateral cerebroventricular injection and was unaffected by injection into the fourth cerebroventricle. Bethanechol-stimulated secretion was augmented by intravenous injection of pentobarbital. In vagotomized rats, pentobarbital did not affect the bethanechol-stimulated or electrically vagally stimulated secretion. These findings indicate that pentobarbital produces both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on gastric acid secretion through a central mechanism, especially in the forebrain. It was proposed that the inhibitory response would result from some interaction of intravenous 2-DG and pentobarbital in the central regulatory system of gastric secretion.
