  2. Gastrointestinal hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_hormone

    Both forms of gastrin are found in the gastric antrum and duodenum: Gastrins stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, pepsinogen, intrinsic factor, and secretin; stimulate intestinal mucosal growth; increase gastric and intestinal motility Big gastrin: 3839: 34: Secretin-glucagon family: Secretin: 3056: 27: Duodenum and jejunum

  3. Enterogastrone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterogastrone

    An enterogastrone is any hormone secreted by the mucosa of the duodenum in the lower gastrointestinal tract in response to dietary lipids that inhibits the caudal (or "forward, analward") motion of the contents of chyme. The function of enterogastrone is almost the same as gastric inhibitor peptide, it inhibits gastric secretion and motility of ...

  4. Glucagon-like peptide-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon-like_peptide-1

    One of the actions of GLP-1 is to inhibit gastric emptying, thus slowing down its own secretion upon postprandial activation. [1] [2] Fasting plasma concentration of biologically active GLP-1 range between 0 and 15 pmol/L in humans and is increased 2- to 3-fold upon food consumption depending on meal size and nutrient composition.

  5. Peptide YY - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_YY

    PYY exerts its action through NPY receptors; it inhibits gastric motility and increases water and electrolyte absorption in the colon. [18] PYY may also suppress pancreatic secretion. It is secreted by the neuroendocrine cells in the ileum and colon in response to a meal, and has been shown to reduce appetite. PYY works by slowing the gastric ...

  6. Enterogastric reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterogastric_reflex

    It can also be stimulated by a pH of 3-4 in the duodenum and by a pH of 1.5 in the stomach. Upon initiation of the reflex, the release of gastrin by G-cells in the antrum of the stomach is shut off. This in turn inhibits gastric motility and the secretion of gastric acid . [1]

  7. Motilin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motilin

    Motilin is a 22-amino acid polypeptide hormone in the motilin family that, in humans, is encoded by the MLN gene. [2]Motilin is secreted by endocrine Mo cells [3] [4] (also referred to as M cells, which are not the same as the M cells, or microfold cells, found in Peyer's patches) that are numerous in crypts of the small intestine, especially in the duodenum and jejunum. [5]

  8. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    The effects range from excitatory or inhibitory effects on motility and secretion to feelings of satiety or hunger when acting on the brain. These hormones fall into three major categories, the gastrin and secretin families, with the third composed of all the other hormones unlike those in the other two families.

  9. Vasoactive intestinal peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoactive_intestinal_peptide

    Its role in the intestine is to greatly stimulate secretion of water and electrolytes, [12] as well as relaxation of enteric smooth muscle, dilating peripheral blood vessels, stimulating pancreatic bicarbonate secretion, and inhibiting gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion. These effects work together to increase motility. [13]
