Evidence for the secretion of gastrin into human gastric juice
Abstract:
Provided the intragastric pH is greater than 6 and the collected gastric juice is boiled and neutralised immediately, considerable amounts of gastrin-like immunoreactivity can be found in human gastric juice. Characterisation according to size and charge reveals that nearly all the gastrin-like immunoreactivity is similar to gastrin 1-17. Direct stimulation of the G-cells with protein solution is followed by a significant and simultaneous increase of acid secretion, serum gastrin, and gastrin output into the lumen of the stomach in control subjects and patients with duodenal ulcer.

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:
Gastric Phase of Digestion
When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...
Intestinal Phase of Digestion
The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
