LEC 1 (Regulatory Substances in the GIT) Flashcards
GI hormone classification
- depending on structure
2. depending on function t
GI endocrine (hormones)
released from endocrine cells in the GI mucosa ►portal circulation, ►general circulation ►physiologic actions on target cell
D Cell
somatostatin
G Cell
Gastrin
H Cell
VIP
S Cell
Secretin
I Cell
chole-cysto-kinin(CCK)
K Cell
gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).
G Cell location
in the lateral walls of gastric glands in the antral portion of the gastric mucosa
Gastrin found in
stomach, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, vagus and sciatic nerve.
Gastrin contains
17 amino acids (“little gastrin”)
Gastrin form
- Little gastrin
2. Big gastrin
Little Gastrin is secreted in
response to a meal
Gastrin all biologic activity resides in the
four C-terminal amino acids.
G17 have half-life of
2 to 3 minutes in the circulation,
G34 has a half-life of
15 min
Actions of gastrin
↑ gastric acid and pepsin secretion
↑growth of mucosa of the stomach, and small and large intestines (trophic action
↑gastric motility.
↑insulin secretion
trophic action
gastrin ↑growth of mucosa of the stomach, and small and large intestines
Patients with gastrin secreting tumors
hypertrophy (size of cells) and hyperplasia (number of cells) of the gastric mucosa.
insulin secretion ؟
only after a protein meal, and not carbohydrate meal
Stimuli for secretion of gastrin
- Luminal
- Neural
- Blood borne
Luminal stimuli
- Stimuli for secretion of gastrin
- Distention of the stomach.
- Small peptides and amino acids,
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (gastrinoma)
gastrin is secreted by non-β-cell tumors of the pancreas
Neural stimuli
Vagal stimulation, mediated by gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)
