| Abstract | 1. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) acts in the brain to inhibit thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, RX-77368-induced vagal stimulation of gastric motility. We investigated CRF receptor-mediated actions of rat urocortin (rUcn) injected intracisternally (ic) on gastric motor function. 2. Urethane-anaesthetized rats with strain gauges on the gastric corpus were injected i.c. with rUcn and 20 min later, with i.c. RX-77368. CRF antagonists were injected i.c. 10 min before rUcn. 3. RX-77368 (1.5, 3, 10, 30 and 100 ng, i.c.) dose-dependently increased corpus contractions, expressed as total area under the curve (AUC, mV min(-1)) to 2.6+/-2.5, 6.1+/-5.9, 9.8+/-2.6, 69.7+/-21.7 and 74.9+/-28.7 respectively vs 0.2+/-0.1 after i.c. saline. Ucn (1, 3 or 10 microg) inhibited RX-77368 (30 ng)-induced increase in total AUC by 28, 62 and 93% respectively vs i.c. saline+RX-77368. 4. The CRF(1)/CRF(2) antagonist, astressin-B (60 microg, i.c.) completely blocked i.c. rUcn (3 microg, i.c.)-induced inhibition of gastric motility stimulated by RX-77368 (30 ng). 5. The selective CRF(2) antagonist, astressin(2)-B (30, 60 or 100 microg, i.c. ) dose-dependently prevented i.c. rUCn action while the CRF(1) antagonist, NBI-27914 did not. 6. In conscious rats, rUcn (0.6 or 1 microg, i.c.) inhibited gastric emptying of an ingested chow meal by 61 and 92% respectively. rUcn action was antagonized by astressin(2)-B. 7. These data show that i.c. rUcn acts through CRF(2) receptors to inhibit central vagal gastric contractile response and postoprandial emptying. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
