Abstract

The role of the pituitary-adrenal axis in the inhibition of gastrointestinal transit caused by intrathecal administration of bombesin was examined. Bombesin (0.3-10 μg) slowed transit by this route in a dose-related manner. Either hypophysectomy or adrenalectomy prevented the inhibition of gastrointestinal transit associated with bombesin (10 μg, i.th.). The inhibitory gut effects of this peptide were not prevented in sham-operated rats. Intrathecal bombesin-induced inhibition of gastrointestinal transit is thus dependent upon an intact pituitary-adrenal axis.
