This study reports on a difference in the inhibitory action of the neuropeptides somatostatin and Met-enkephalin on acetylcholine (ACh) release from myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle strips of guinea pig small intestine. Met-enkephalin (8.7 X 10(-8) M) inhibited ACh release evoked by either substance P (3.7 X 10(-8) M) or neurotensin (7.5 X 10(-11) M), and this inhibition could be reversed by naloxone (5 X 10(-8) to 5 X 10(-5) M). Neurotensin-induced ACh release was also sensitive to the inhibition by somatostatin. However, when tested in a dose range from 6.1 X 10(-8) to 6.1 X 10(-6) M, somatostatin was ineffective in reducing the efflux of ACh evoked by substance P. These observations provided evidence to support the view that inhibitory peptidergic neurons within the myenteric plexus modulate the activity of cholinergic neurons with a high degree of specificity and that both somatostatin and Met-enkephalin have distinct neuromodulatory functions in the gut.
