Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) has been shown to alter gastrointestinal functions, including increased gastric acid secretion and motility following brain stem injections of PP. The present study investigated the effect of an intracisternal injection of PP on the rate of gastric emptying. Additionally, the efficacy of the rat and bovine forms of the peptide was compared. Rats anesthetized with ether received an intracisternal injection of rat PP, bovine PP, or vehicle and, upon regaining consciousness, were fed a liquid test "meal." Intracisternal rat PP produced a marked enhancement in gastric emptying compared with control animals. Bovine PP, at doses equimolar to or three times greater than the effective rat PP dose, produced no change in gastric emptying. Pretreatment with systemic atropine prior to central injection of rat PP eliminated the stimulation of emptying, suggesting that PP acts through a cholinergic mechanism. When equimolar doses of rat or bovine PP were microinjected directly into the dorsal vagal complex, the region containing PP receptors, both were capable of stimulating antral motility. The response to bovine PP, however, was delayed and reduced compared with that seen following rat PP. The results suggest that rat PP strongly stimulates gastric emptying in rats and that bovine PP, depending on the route of administration, is either ineffectual or a weaker agonist for central PP receptors.
