  2. 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 ...

    Increases gastric emptying and small bowel motility Neuropeptide Y: Enteric nerves: Regulation of intestinal blood flow Neurotensin: Ileum: Affects gut motility; increases jejunal and ileal fluid secretion Pancreatic polypeptide: Pancreas: Inhibits pancreatic and biliary secretion Peptide YY: Colon: Inhibits food intake Somatostatin: Stomach ...

    5-10% of gastric secretion occurs during this phase. [2] The intestinal phase is a stage in which the duodenum responds to arriving chyme and moderates gastric activity through hormones and nervous reflexes. The duodenum initially enhances gastric secretion, but soon inhibits it.

  5. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. Glucagon-like peptide-1 - Wikipedia

    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]

  8. Enterogastric reflex - Wikipedia

    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]

  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]
