[Effect of somatostatin on betazole-stimulated gastric secretion and carbachol-stimulated pancreatic secretion and gall bladder contraction in man(author's transl)].

The effect of somatostatin on betazole-stimulated gastric secretion and carbachol-stimulated pancreatic secretion and gall bladder contraction has been studied in seven healthy volunteers. Somatostatin (150 and 250 mug/h) inhibited dose-dependently volume of gastric juice and acid output stimulated by 16 mg betazole. Acid concentration was little affected. 500 mug/h were not more effective than 250 mug/h. Pancreatic secretion stimulated by 250 mug carbachol has been reduced by 80-90% and gall bladder contraction abolished by somatostatin infusion (200 mug/h).
