  1. Gastrointestinal hormone

    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. Pancreatic polypeptide function is most apparent in control of gastrointestinal motility and satiation Amylin controls glucose homeostasis and gastric motility Glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide possesses an acute influence on food intake through its effects on adipocytes Glucagon like peptide 1 has an effect on incretin activit ...   more details

  1. Corticotropin releasing hormone antagonist

    A Corticotropin releasing hormone antagonist is a specific type of receptor antagonist which blocks the receptor sites for Corticotropin releasing hormone also known as Corticotropin releasing factor CRF , blocking therefore the consequent secretions of ACTH and cortisol . There are four subtypes of this receptor known at present, defined as CRF 1, CRF 2a, CRF 2b and CRF 2g. Three of these receptors are expressed only in the brain, CRF 1 in the cortex and cerebrum, CRF 2a in the lateral septum and hypothalamus and CRF 2g in the amygdala. CRF 2b is expressed in the choroid plexus and cerebral arterioles in the brain, but is mainly expressed peripherally, on the heart and skeletal muscle tissue. ref McCarthy JR, Heinrichs SC, Grigoriadis DE. Recent advances with the CRF1 receptor design of small molecule inhibitors, receptor subtypes and clinical indications. Current Pharmaceutical Design . 1999 May 5 5 289 315. ref The main research into CRF antagonists to date has focused on antagonists selective for the CRF 1 subtype. Several antagonists for this receptor have been developed and are widely used in research, with the best known agents being the selective CRF 1 antagonist antalarmin and a newer drug pexacerfont , although several other ligands for this receptor are used in research, such as LWH 234, CP 154,526 , NBI 27914 and R 121,919. Antagonists acting at CRF 2 have also been developed, such as the peptide Astressin B , ref Vulliemoz NR, Xiao E, Xia Zhang L, Rivier J, Ferin M.
