Effects of [Asu1,7]-eel calcitonin on gastric somatostatin and gastrin release
Abstract:
Effects of [Asu1,7]-eel calcitonin on gastric somatostatin and gastrin secretion were studied by using the isolated perfused rat stomach. [Asu1,7]-eel calcitonin (10(-9)--10(-7)M) caused a simultaneous dose-dependent increase of gastric somatostatin release and decrease of gastrin secretion, with a significant correlation between these two. The demonstration of calcitonin stimulation of gastric somatostatin release raises the possibility of somatostatin-mediated suppression of gastrin secretion by calcitonin.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
Hormones Secreted by the Stomach
Each of these hormones secreted by different enteroendocrine cells plays a unique role in digestion. Here are a few examples:
Intestinal Phase of Digestion
The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
