Cholinergic

Effects of Timepidium bromide (TB), acetylcholine (ACh) and neostigmine (Neost) on gastric and duodenal blood flow distribution are studied by the use of ¹³¹ I-labeled macroaggregated human serum albumin (MAA) in rabbits. In normal rabbits, gastric blood flow is found to be uneven in various regions of the stomach: anterior corpus (50% of total gastric blood flow) greater than posterior corpus (40%) greater than pyloric antrum (7%). Intravenous administration of Timepidium bromide (200 μg/kg) to normal rabbits produces a slight increase in total gastric blood flow, but the increase in the mucosal layer of the pyloric antrum is considerable.
