Effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) on bile flow through the sphincter of Oddi (SO) were studied in anaesthetized dogs. Intravenous injection of CCK (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 IDU/Kg) elicited a dose-dependent reduction in flow through the SO in the first minutes after CCK administration. Pirenzepine and atropine decreased significantly (P less than 0.05) by 29% and a 40% respectively the inhibitory effect induced by 1 IDU/Kg of CCK, whereas hexamethonium elicited an increase in the inhibitory effect induced by 0.5 IDU/Kg of CCK (P less than 0.05). Intravenous infusion of cummulative doses of CCK had different effects according to the dose infused. Lower doses (0.025 and 0.05 IDU/Kg/min) increased transphincteric flow, however, high doses (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 IDU/Kg/min) were inhibitory. These finding indicated that CCK had two effects on the SO : firstly, a contractile effect, probably mediated through a direct myogenic action and neuronal release of ACh, and secondly a relaxant effect, probably mediated by stimulation of inhibitory postganglionic neurons.
