The effects of serotonin on pentagastrin- and bethanechol-stimulated gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) and acid secretion were evaluated. Conscious gastric fistula dogs were used, with neutral red clearance as the method to estimate the mucosal blood flow. Serotonin inhibited the acid secretion, with a counteracting effect of propranolol and methysergide. Serotonin inhibited the pentagastrin- and bethanechol-stimulated GMBF after 15 min of infusion. The ratio between GMBF and acid secretion was increased during serotonin infusion, which suggests primary and independent changes in both variables. Propranolol and methysergide counteracted the serotonin inhibition of the GMBF. It may be concluded from this study that the acid-inhibitory effect of serotonin is not mediated by changes in the GMBF. The actions of serotonin on acid secretion and GMBF are mediated by specific receptors.
