Bombesin causes a significant growth in both the atrophic gut mucosa of rats fed an elemental diet and the injured mucosa of rats. This suggests a possible protective role for bombesin in the maintenance of gut mucosal structure after an injury that results in either atrophy or mucosal disruption.

In adult rats, bombesin stimulates the proliferation of the colon.

Low doses of bombesin act directly at the acinar cell or through release of non-CCK growth factors whereas high doses of bombesin act in part through CCK release.
