Inc by FA's, AA's, and oral Glucose
Fxn's of VIP?
Inc intestinal water and electrolyte secretion
Inc relaxation of intestinal smooth muscle and sphincters
Regulation of VIP?
Inc by distention and vagal stimulation
Dec by adrenergic input

so it promotes digestion
What's up with a VIPoma?
non-alpha, non-beta cell pancreatic islet cell tumor that secretes VIP
Sx: copious diarrhea
GI Fxns of NO?
Inc smooth muscle relaxation INCLUDING LES
What is loss of NO secretion implicated in?
Achalasia (megaesophagus)
Fxn's of Motilin?

HCO3
Sources for upper GI secretory products
IF: Parietal cells (stomach)
Gastric Acid: Parietal cells (stomach)
Pepsin: Chief Cells (stomach)
BiCarb: Mucosal Cells (stomach, duo) and Brunner's Glands (duo)
Fxn of IF?
Vitamin B12 binding protein (required for uptake into terminal ileum)
Pathological issue w/ IF?
Autoimmune destruction of parietal cells---> dec If---> pernicious anemia
Fxns of gastric acid?
Dec stomach pH
Regulation of Gastric Acid?
Inc by histamine, ACh, and gastrin
Dec by somatostain, GIP, PG's, and secretin
What is a gastrinoma?
Gastrin secreting tumor--> continuous high levels of acid secretion--->ulcers
Fxn of pepsin?

How do ACh and Gastrin stimulate Acid secretion?
Gq coupled receptors--->IP3 and Ca---> activates K/H ATPase to pump H into lumen
How does Histamine stimulate Acid Secretion?
