Abstract
We investigated the influence of the nonpeptide neurotensin receptor antagonist, SR 48692, administered orally, on gastric emptying and on acute defaecation. SR 48692 dose-dependently (ED50 approximately 0.7 microgram kg-1) increased gastric emptying of a food suspension, but it had no effect on that of a non-caloric meal. SR 48692 also dose-dependently promoted defaecation and increased faecal water content. We suggest that antagonism of endogenous neurotensin accounts for the gastric emptying and defaecation promoting action of SR 48692.Entities:
