Release of gastrointestinal hormones following an oral water load

Experientia. 1979 Nov 15;35(11):1521-3. doi: 10.1007/BF01962823.

Abstract

The ingestion of 2 different water loads (7.5 and 15 ml/kg) by healthy subjects stimulated the release of plasma motilin, gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide and VIP. Atropine was found to block the release of PP but not the other hormones.
