Abstract

The effect on plasma gastroenteropancreatic hormone levels on infusing the porcine gastrin-releasing peptide and bombesin into dogs demonstrated no qualitative difference in the spectrum of activity of the two peptides. Sustained elevation in plasma immunoreactive gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide, enteroglucagon, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, pancreatic glucagon and transient elevations in plasma insulin were seen during infusions of both peptides. The similar spectrum of activities and the structural homology between the two peptides suggests that the porcine gastrin releasing peptide is the porcine counterpart of the amphibian peptide bombesin.
