This document summarizes several gastrointestinal hormones:
- Gastrin is produced by the pyloric mucosa and stimulates secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) by the stomach.
- Cholecystokinin is formed in the small intestine and stimulates pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice rich in bicarbonate as well as bile and intestinal juices.
- Secretin is a peptide hormone secreted by the duodenum that stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice.
2. Produced by the pyloric mucosa
Secretion of gastrin is stimulated by the proteins
present in food or HCl
gastrin is absorbed into the blood and is carried to
the fundic cells, causing them to secrete HCl
actively.
Gastrin stimulates the gastric glands to pour out
more gastric juice.
Gastrin is hexa peptide (mol.wt 2100)
It dialyzes through a membrane & has a PI
5.5
3. The 1st
compound to be designated as hor
Formed by the upper intestinal mucosa
Liberated by HCl present in the acid chyme (semi
fluid material present in stomach).
It is carried by the blood to pancreas which it
stimulates the flow of P.juice rich in HCO3-.
Also stimulates the secretion of bile and intestinal
juices.
Obtained in a crystalline form—PP or 27 AAs mol wt
3056.
4. Also secreted by up part of S. intestine.
Stimulates the contraction of gall bladder
CCK is a PP – 33AAs– 3883
Enterogastrone:- present in Duo.mucosa
Secretion is stimulated by FAT
↓ gastric secretion & motility of stomach.
5. PP hormone (33AAs)
Stimulates secretion of P.juice
The secretion of PZ is stimulated in the
presence of peptone, casein, dextrin,
maltose, lactose, saline water & dist.water
It is thermostable & not destroyed by acid but
is destroyed by alkali
CCK and PZ are thought to be similar hence,
represented as CCK-PZ.
6. enterokinin:- isolated from intstinal mucosa and
controls the intestinal secretion.
EK vol & enzyme conc.of succus entericus.↑
Proteinacious in nature & stimulates the secretion
of both fluid and enzymes by the intestinal mucosa.
Hepatocrinin:- it is related to EK and is believed to
stimulate the secretion of dilute, low-salt type of
bile juice.
7. Duicrinin:- controls the secretion of Brunner’s
glands which are located in the submucosa of the
upper duodenum.
Villikinin:- secreted by inte.mucosa
Stimulates the movements of the I.villi and hence
accelerates intestinal absorption.
Parotin:- protein hormone
Stimulates calcification of teeth & decreases the
conc.of Ca content of blood
Increases the P level of the serum.
