The list of gastrointestinal responses to cAMP is rapidly growing, as cAMP appears to play a key regulatory role in intestinal electrolyte and fluid secretion, but its physiologic role in bile, pancreatic, and gastric secretion is less firmly established. There is evidence for a direct secretory effect of cAMP in isolated amphibian gastric mucosa, but in the in vivo mammalian stomach, gastric secretion may be independent of changes in intra- or extracellular cAMP concentration.
