- Hormones :
- The chemical messengers, found in the gut are critical in regulating the intake of food and energy expenditure.
- The body’s biggest hormone-producing structure, the gut secretes more than 20 various peptide hormones, some of these affect the eating pattern, sensation of pleasure during nibbling while some others target the brain to control appetite and so on.
- Gastrin :
- It is a peptide hormone primarily responsible for enhancing gastric mucosal growth, gastric motility, and secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl) into the stomach.
- It is present in G cells of the gastric antrum and duodenum.
- Endocrine cells present in different parts of the gastro-intestinal tract secrete four major peptide hormones -
- Gastrin, Secretin, Cholecystokinin (CCK), and Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP).
- Gastrin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
