[Neurohumoral regulation of gastric secretion in postvagotomy syndromes]
Abstract:
The secretion of hormones stimulating and inhibiting gastric secretory activity was studied in 85 patients with postvagotomy syndromes. The somatropin level was found to increase significantly in gastrostasis. The lower values of the blood insulin and C-peptide content in patients with recurrent ulcers was evidently associated either with insufficiency of the pancreatic insular apparatus or with partial vagal denervation, increased STH level, and plausible inhibiting effect of glucagon. Increased somatostatin secretion in the dumping syndrome, gastrostasis, and peptic ulcers may be due to the encountered hypergastrinemia.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
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...

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...
