Abstract:
Signal peptides in the GI tract may be of endocrine, paracrine, or neuronal origin. Improvements in the ability to identify cells containing such peptides and to measure them both intracellularly and extracellularly have made it easier to distinguish both source and target for these physiologically important molecules. The regulatory peptides frequently act in concert.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
