  2. Gastrointestinal hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_hormone

    Stomach, duodenum: Opiate-like actions Enteroglucagon: Small intestine, pancreas: Inhibits insulin secretion Galanin: Enteric nerves: Ghrelin: Stomach: Stimulates appetite, increases gastric emptying Glucagon-like peptide 1: Pancreas, ileum: Increases insulin secretion Glucagon-like peptide 2: Ileum, colon: Enterocyte-specific growth hormone ...

  3. Insulin signal transduction pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_signal...

    Fatty acids also affect insulin secretion. In type 2 diabetes, fatty acids are able to potentiate insulin release to compensate the increment need of insulin. It was found that the β-cells express free fatty acid receptors at their surface, through which fatty acids can impact the function of β-cells.

  4. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    Every day, seven liters of fluid are secreted by the digestive system. This fluid is composed of four primary components: ions, digestive enzymes, mucus, and bile. About half of these fluids are secreted by the salivary glands, pancreas, and liver, which compose the accessory organs and glands of the digestive system.

  6. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

    1) Suppresses glucagon release from α cells (acts locally); 2) Suppresses release of Insulin, Pituitary tropic hormones, gastrin and secretin. 3) Decreases stomach acid production by preventing the release of other hormones (gastrin and histamine), thus slowing down the digestive process. Lowers [citation needed] Epinephrine: Adrenal medulla

  7. Gastric glands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_glands

    The release of histamine is stimulated by the secretion of gastrin from the G cells. [1] Histamine promotes the production and release of HCL from the parietal cells to the blood and protons to the stomach lumen. When the stomach pH decreases (becomes more acidic), the ECLs stop releasing histamine. G cells – They secrete gastrin hormone ...

  8. Insulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin

    A combination of a rapid acting and a protracted insulin is also available, making it more likely for patients to achieve an insulin profile that mimics that of the body's own insulin release. [ 103 ] [ 104 ] Insulin is also used in many cell lines, such as CHO-s, HEK 293 or Sf9, for the manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies, virus vaccines ...

  9. Enteroendocrine cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteroendocrine_cell

    Enteroendocrine cells are specialized cells of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas with endocrine function. They produce gastrointestinal hormones or peptides in response to various stimuli and release them into the bloodstream for systemic effect, diffuse them as local messengers, or transmit them to the enteric nervous system to activate nervous responses.
