They are known to induce gastric secretion , stimulate pancreatic secretion, increase blood circulation and water secretion in the stomach and intestine, and stimulate smooth muscle contraction. Originally found in the gut, these hormones have since been shown to be present in various parts of the nervous system . Like many other active peptides they are synthesized as larger protein precursors that are enzymatically converted to their mature forms. They are found in several molecular forms due to tissue specific post translational processing. The biological activity of gastrin and CCK is associated with the last five C terminal residues.

No footnotes date February 2011 The gastrointestinal hormones or gut hormones constitute a group of hormone s secreted by enteroendocrine cell s in the stomach , pancreas , and small intestine that control various functions of the digestive organs. Later studies showed that most of the gut peptides, such as secretin , cholecystokinin or substance P , were found to play a role of neurotransmitter s and neuromodulator s in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Enteroendocrine cells do not form endocrine glands but are spread throughout the digestive tract. They exert their autocrine and paracrine actions that integrate all of gastrointestinal function. Types of Gastrointestinal hormones The gastrointestinal hormones can be divided into three main groups based upon their chemical structure . Gastrin family Gastrin cholecystokinin family gastrin and cholecystokinin 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 is often referred to as the hunger hormone since high levels of it are found in individuals that are fasting. Ghrelin antagonistic treatments can be used to treat illnesses such as anorexia and loss of appetites in cancer patients. Ghrelin treatments for obesity are still under intense scrutiny and no conclusive evidence has been reached. This hormone stimulates growth hormone release. Cholecystokinin is responsible for gall bladder secretions, gastrointestinal motility as well as pancreatic exocrine secretions. Peptide YY is involved mostly in satiation modulation.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date October 2008 The Enterogastric reflex is one of three extrinsic reflexes of the Gastrointestinal Tract . The reflex is stimulated by the presence of acid levels in the duodenum at a pH of 3 4 or in the stomach at a pH of 1.5. Upon stimulation of the reflex, the release of gastrin from G cells in the antrum of the stomach is shut off. This in turn inhibits gastric motility and secretion of gastric acid HCl . In addition to the Enterogastric reflex, the other two extrinsic reflexes of the Gastrointestinal Tract include the Gastrocolic reflex and the Colonoileal reflex . Enterogastric reflex activation thus, causes decreased motility. Emptying inhibitory factors are Duodenal acidic pH, Duodenal distension, Duodenal hypertonicity, sympathetic stimulation, Intense pain Emptying stimulatory factors are Parasympathetic stimulation, Increased volume and fluidity of gastric contents.

The cephalic phase of gastric secretion occurs even before food enters the stomach , especially while it is being eaten. It results from the sight, smell, thought, or taste of food, and the greater the appetite , the more intense is the stimulation . Neurogenic signals that cause the cephalic phase of gastric secretion originate from the cerebral cortex and in the appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus .They are transmitted through the dorsal motor nuclei of the vagi and then through the vagus nerve to the stomach. This phase of secretion normally accounts for about 20 percent of the gastric secretion associated with eating a meal. This enhanced secretory activity brought on by the thought or sight of food is a conditioned reflex . It only occurs when we like or want food. When appetite is depressed this part of the cephalic reflex is inhibited. Effects on gastric secretion Cephalic phase cause ECL cells to secrete histamine and increase HCl acid in the stomach. There will also be an influence on G cells to increase gastrin circulation. Category Digestive system digestive stub sv Cefaliska fasen ... more details
