    Pancreatic polypeptide cells are most active and secrete more pancreatic polypeptide after a meal with high protein, fasting, physical activity, and acute hypoglycemia. These same cells are inhibited by somatostatin, an inhibitory gastrointestinal hormone, and the presence of glucose. [7] Pancreatic Polypeptide From a Mouse Cell

    Immunohistochemistry for pancreatic polypeptide in a mouse pancreas, 200×. Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is a polypeptide secreted by PP cells in the endocrine pancreas.It is a hormone and it regulates pancreatic secretion activities, and also impacts liver glycogen storage and gastrointestinal secretion.

  4. Pancreatic islets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_islets

    There are about 1 million islets distributed throughout the pancreas of a healthy adult human. While islets vary in size, the average diameter is about 0.2 mm. [5]:928 Each islet is separated from the surrounding pancreatic tissue by a thin, fibrous, connective tissue capsule which is continuous with the fibrous connective tissue that is interwoven throughout the rest of the pancreas.

    Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide possesses an acute influence on food intake through its effects on adipocytes Oxyntomodulin plays a role in controlling acid secretion and satiation Characteristics of prominent forms of principal gut regulatory peptides [ 4 ] : 1719

  6. Alpha cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_cell

    It appears that insulin functions to inhibit glucagon secretion through activation of delta cells to secrete somatostatin. [12] Insulin binds to SGLT2 causing an increased glucose uptake into delta cells. SGLT2 is a sodium and glucose symporter, meaning that it brings glucose and sodium ions across the membrane at the same time in the same ...

  7. Pancreatic progenitor cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_Progenitor_Cell

    The endocrine cells constitute the beta cells which make insulin, alpha cells which secrete glucagon, delta cells which secrete somatostatin and the PP-cells which secrete pancreatic polypeptide. [3] Pancreatic progenitor cells have been shown to arise from cells originating from the developing foregut during mammalian development.
