We studied the effect of the opiate antagonist naloxone on the human gastric acid secretory response to three secretory stimulants: sham feeding, pentagastrin, and histamine. Intravenous naloxone (40 micrograms/kg/hr) significantly inhibited the acid secretory response to sham feeding without affecting the serum gastrin response to sham feeding. Naloxone also significantly reduced pentagastrin- and histamine-stimulated acid secretion. These studies indicate that naloxone reduces acid secretion in response to all stimulants of acid secretion yet tested in humans.
