Endocrine cells within the gut

- endocrine cells of GEP (gastroentero-pancreatic) system - open configuration (sensitive to contents -> hormone release into blood)


[--pancreas & oxynthic region of stomach]




+ NS's: extrinsic (PS, S) & intrinsic (enteric - submucosal & intermuscular)


+ SM's

Gut Hormones

Secretins - secretin, VIP, GIP, glucagon, GLP-1, bombesin (GRP - vagal transmitter -> gastrin release)




Gastrins - gastrin, CCK (major: 33 AA's), motilin, encephalin (, cerulean)


- size heterogeneity; amide essential




+ PP, Somatostatin (SRIH), urogastrone, chymodenin, tachykinins

Gastrin forms

Secreted from G cells (pyloric antrum of stomach), duodenum, pancreas




4 major forms (each in non- & sulfated form)


Component I ~ preprogastrin (70 AA's)


G34 - "big gastrin" (34 AA's)


G17 - "little gastrin" (17 AA's) - major form


G14 - "mini gastrin" (14 AA's)


-- all have common N terminus (active part)

Gastrin effects

Acts synergistically w/ Ach (<- vagal impulses) & histamine (-> type 2 H-R; |-- cymetidine [ulcers])




- oxynthic cells -> gastric A; chief cells -> pepsinogen (indirectly)


- mucosa of the stomach -> trophic action (-> growth)


- gastric motility

Gastrin regulation

++ Vagal activity -> via GRP (bombesin)


++ Peptides AA's (Trp, Phe, Arg), Ca++ in chyme


- - A ~ pH < 3.5 -> via somatostatin (-fb)


- - secretin (& CCK)

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZE)

Gastrin hypersecretion from


- pancreatic islet tumors (= gastrinomas, spread out)


- hyperplastic mucosal G cells


-> ulcerative disease, gastric mucosa overgrowth




- secretin -> ↑gastrin (! diagnostic test)

CCK (Cholecystokinin) effects

- released in duodenum


- gall bladder -> contration


- sphincter of Oddi -> relaxation


--| (competitive) gastrin-induced A secretion (neutralization activity)


- pancreas -> proenzyme release (active at neutral pH)


- pancreas (acinar cells) -> synergictic action w/ secretin, Ach -> HCO3-/H2O release

CCK regulation

++ Peptides & AA's (Trp, Phe, Val, Leu, Met) in chyme

++ Fats, acidity (weak)

Secretin effects

Secreted by S cells in jejunum & duodenum




- synergictic action w/ CCK (neutralization):


-- pancreas (acinar cells) -> enzymes & HCO3-/H2O release


-- bile flow & composition (↑[HCO3-/H2O])




--| gastrin release (& stomach A secretion)



Secretin regulation

++ A in duodenum


- - Ach (vagal)

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1)

- produced by intestinal L-cells


- 30 AA's


- pancreas -> insulin (in response to oral glucose)


--| gastric secretion & emptying [anorexogenic, T2DM]

Ghrelin

- released upon fasting & insulin-induced hypoglycemia (E insufficiency) in GI tract


-> eating (orexogenic)


- 28 AA's


- brain/gut peptide (GHRP):


-> GHRH -> GH


--| somatostatin


-> pituitary -> somatotrophs

Leptin & Adiponectin

- proteins of adipose tissue in response to E sufficiency


-> cell surface R's --| hunger (anorexogenic)


- ↑ insulin responsiveness in T2DM

VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)

- colon, ileum, jejunum, pancreas, neurons (NT?)


- released from duodenum in response to HCl/fat


-> sphincter relaxation (w/ NO)


--| A secretion, motility, gall bladder contraction


- intestine & pancreas -> H2O & electrolyte secretion from mucosa


- secreting tumor = VIPoma -> watery-diarrhea syndrome

[GIP (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide)]

Plasma glucose -> insulin secretion

Somatostatin

NT released from (hypothalamus,) pancreatic D-cells & gastric mucosa in response to A


--| insulin, glucagon, gastric A, gastrin (-fb), secretin, CCK, GIP, VIP, motilin

[Urogastrone]

= epidermal GF


- also in submaxillary glands & Brunner's glands of the duodenum


--| A secretion

[Enkephalin]

= immunoreactive (Met)enkephalin (opioid-R ligand) in antral stomach, duodenum, ileum, colon, gall bladder, pancreas


- inhibitory

[Peptide YY]

- contains Tyr residues


- 18/36 AA's = pancreatic polypeptide


- released in response to fat


--| gastric secretion & emptying (vagal effects)
