    Secretin family: secretin, glucagon, vasoactive intestinal peptide and gastric inhibitory peptide; Somatostatin family; Motilin family; Substance P. Ghrelin is a peptide hormone released from the stomach and liver and is often referred to as the "hunger hormone" since high levels of it are found in individuals that are fasting. Ghrelin ...

  3. Gastrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrin

    Gastrin is a linear peptide hormone produced by G cells of the duodenum and in the pyloric antrum of the stomach.It is secreted into the bloodstream. The encoded polypeptide is preprogastrin, which is cleaved by enzymes in posttranslational modification to produce progastrin (an intermediate, inactive precursor) and then gastrin in various forms, primarily the following three:

  4. Glucagon-like peptide-1 - Wikipedia

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

    The rate of gastric emptying is therefore an important aspect to consider, as it regulates the entry of nutrients into the small intestine where the direct stimulation occurs. One of the actions of GLP-1 is to inhibit gastric emptying, thus slowing down its own secretion (negative feedback) upon postprandial activation. [1] [2]

    Activation of the GLP-1 receptor promotes feelings of satiety, leading to a reduction in food intake and improved weight management. Gastric emptying': GLP-1 receptor activation slows down the rate at which the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine. This delay in gastric emptying contributes to the feeling of fullness and aids ...

    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. Further information on the GI ...

  8. Cholecystokinin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholecystokinin

    As a peptide hormone, CCK mediates satiety by acting on the CCK receptors distributed widely throughout the central nervous system. The mechanism for hunger suppression is thought to be a decrease in the rate of gastric emptying. [27] CCK also has stimulatory effects on the vagus nerve, effects that can be inhibited by capsaicin. [28]
