The methylcellulose phenol red solution was gavaged 20 min after peptide injection, and gastric emptying was measured 20 min later. The intracisternal injection of Ucn 2 (0.1 and 1 \u03bcg) and Ucn 1 (1 \u03bcg) decreased gastric emptying to 37.8 \u00b1 6.9%, 23.1 \u00b1 8.6%, and 21.6 \u00b1 5.9%, respectively, compared with 58.4 \u00b1 3.8% after intracisternal vehicle. At lower doses, Ucn 2 (0.03 \u03bcg) and Ucn 1 (0.1 \u03bcg) had no effect. The CRF<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> antagonist astressin<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-B (3 \u03bcg ic) antagonized intracisternal Ucn 2 (0.1 \u03bcg) and CRF (0.3 \u03bcg)-induced inhibition of gastric emptying. Vagotomy enhanced intracisternal Ucn 2 (0.1 or 1 \u03bcg)-induced inhibition of gastric emptying compared with sham-operated group, whereas it blocked intracisternal CRF (1 \u03bcg) inhibitory action (45.5 \u00b1 8.4% vs. 9.7 \u00b1 9.7%). Sympathetic blockade by bretylium prevented intracisternal and intracerebroventricular Ucn 2-induced delayed gastric emptying, whereas it did not influence intravenous Ucn 2-, intracisternal CRF-, and intracisternal Ucn 1-induced inhibition of gastric emptying. Prazosin abolished the intracisternal Ucn 2 inhibitory effect, whereas yohimbine and propranolol did not. None of the pretreatments modified basal gastric emptying. These data indicate that intracisternal Ucn 2 induced a central CRF<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-mediated inhibition of gastric emptying involving sympathetic \u03b1<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>-adrenergic mechanisms independent from the vagus contrasting with the vagal-dependent inhibitory actions of CRF and Ucn 1. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpgi.00289.2005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,13]],"date-time":"2005-10-13T20:34:01Z","timestamp":1129235641000},"page":"G511-G518","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["Urocortin 2 acts centrally to delay gastric emptying through sympathetic pathways while CRF and urocortin 1 inhibitory actions are vagal dependent in rats"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"290","author":[{"given":"J\u00f3zsef","family":"Czimmer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mulugeta","family":"Million","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yvette","family":"Tach\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"R1","unstructured":"Abrahamsson H and Glise H.
