2.Blood borne
Inhibition of gastrin secretion Blood borne
Secretin, somatostatin, GIP (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide also known as the glucosedependent insulin-tropic peptide), VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), glucagon
Inhibition of gastrin secretion Luminal
↑acid →direct action on G cells
→release of somatostatin.
→ no gastrin

CCK receptors
A and B)
CCK-A recepter found in
the periphery
CCK-b recepter found in
brain
Effect of TAG on CCK
DO NOT stimulate the release of CCK because they
cannot cross intestinal cell membranes.
Secretin structure
contains 27 amino acids,(All of the amino acids are required for biologic activity)
2.homologous to glucagon; 12 of the 27 amino acids
The secretin synthesized by
S cells, → duodenum and the jejunum
The secretin half-life
5 minute.
Actions of secretin
- ↑secretion of bicarbonate by the duct cells of the pancreas and biliary tract.
- ↓H+ secretion by gastric parietal cells.
- ↑growth of the exocrine pancreas.
- augments the action of CCK in producing pancreatic secretion of digestive enzyme
- has a mild effect on motility of the gastrointestinal tract
increase secretion of bicarbonate causes
Pancreases watery, alkaline pancreatic juice.
Pancreatic HCO3
- neutralizes H+ in the intestinal lumen.
B. Liver HCO3- and H2O secretion
increases bile production.
Stimuli for the release of secreti
(1) H+
(2) Protein
in the lumen of the duodenum
GIP
Glucose-dependent insulin-tropic peptide
Gastro-inhibitory peptide)
GIP contains
42 amino acids.
GIP is produced by
K cells in the mucosa of the duodenum and jejunum
GIP is homologous to
secretin and glucagon.
Actions of GIP
- Stimulates insulin release.
- inhibits gastric secretion (large dose )
- inhibits gastric motility ( large dose )
Stimuli for the release of GIP
fatty acids, amino acids, and orally administered glucose
only GI hormone
GIP
GIP named
gastric inhibitory peptide
Motilin is secreted by the
stomach and upper duodenum during fasting
Motilin function
increase gastrointestinal motility
↓Motilin secretion
ingestion of food
inter-digestive myoelectric complexes (or migrating myoelectric complexes: MMC)
Motilin stimulates waves of gastrointestinal motility that move through the stomach and small intestine every 90 minutes in a person who has fasted and MMC contraction stop when you eat مهم
The migrating myoelectric complex functions
to move undigested food into the colon and keep the upper parts of the GIT (small intestine and stomach) clear
digestive myoelectric complexes (or MMC) is divided into four phases
(1) basal (Phase I)
(2) pre-burst (Phase II)
(3) burst (Phase III)
(4) Phase IV
(1) basal (Phase I) is a
- quiescent هامدperiod
- no contractions
- lasts from 40–60 min
(2) pre-burst (Phase II) consists of
- intermittenti
- rregular
- low-amplitude contractions
- lasts for 40–60 min
parts of the GIT can have an active migrating myoelectric complex
The mid stomach to the terminal ileum
(3) burst (Phase III) consists of
- intense
- short burst
- regular
- high-amplitude contractions
- for short periods (4–6 min).
Phase III contractions periodically occur
every 90-120 minutes in humans.
Motilin administration causes
gastric phase III contractions in humans.
Plasma motilin level is highly associated with
the appearance of gastric phase III in humans
(4) Phase IV
- short transition period back to the quiescence الهدوءof phase I
- lasts for 0–5 min
- with very little or no contractions
housekeeper wave.
all the undigested material is swept out of the stomach down to the small intestine
GI Paracrines are
Somatostatin
2.Histamine
GI Paracrines are released from
endocrine cells in the GI mucosa.
GI Paracrines diffuse
over short distances to act on target cells located in the GI tract.
Histamine is secreted
by mast cells of the gastric mucosa.
. Histamine function
increases gastric H+ secretion directly and by potentiating the effects of gastrin and vagal stimulation
Somatostatin is secreted in response to
H+ in the lumen.
Somatostatin secretion is inhibited by
vagal stimulation.
Somatostatin inhibits
- the release of all GI hormones مهم
- pancreatic exocrine secretion;
- gastric acid secretion and motility;
- gallbladder contraction
- the absorption of glucose, amino acid, and triglycerides.
GI Neurocrines
- Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
- GRP (Gastrin Releasing peptide or bombesin)
- Enkephalins (met-enkephalin and leu-enkephalin)
GRP (Gastrin Releasing peptide or bombesin) is released from
vagus nerves that innervate the G cells.
Enkephalins (met-enkephalin and leu-enkephalin) stimulate
contraction of GI smooth muscle,in
lower esophageal,
pyloric, and
ileocecal sphincters
GRP stimulates
gastrin release from G cells.
Enkephalins inhibit
intestinal secretion of fluid and electrolytes
opiates in the treatment of diarrhea
Enkephalins inhibit intestinal secretion of fluid and electrolytes
Neurocrines are synthesized in
neurons of the GI tract→ moved by axonal transport down the axon→ released by action potentials in the nerves→ then diffuse across the synaptic cleft to a target cell.
VIP contains
28 amino acids and is homologous to secretin
VIP is released from
- neurons in the mucosa
2. smooth muscle of the GI tract
VIP has a half-life
2 minutes
Functions of VIP
- relaxation of GI smooth muscle
- ↑pancreatic HCO3- secretion and ↓ gastric H+ secretion
- ↑intestinal secretion of electrolytes and hence of water
- potentates the action of acetylcholine in salivary glands
VIP relaxation of GI smooth muscle, including the
a. relaxation lower esophageal sphincter
b. dilation of peripheral blood vessels
VIP actions resembles secretin.
Stimulates pancreatic HCO3- secretion and inhibits gastric H+ secretion.
