| 1. | The glands contain mucus cells and G cells that secrete gastrin.
|
| 2. | This results in higher levels of gastrin and stomach acid being secreted.
|
| 3. | Dipeptides activate G-cells found in the stomach to secrete gastrin.
|
| 4. | Its release is stimulated by gastrin and acetylcholine and inhibited by somatostatin.
|
| 5. | The diagnosis may be supported by high serum gastrin levels ( ).
|
| 6. | In addition, the source of the increased gastrin production must be discovered.
|
| 7. | These include serotonin, neurotensin, cholecystokinin ( CCK ), and gastrin.
|
| 8. | The receptor is called the gastrin-releasing peptide ( GRP ) receptor.
|
| 9. | Gastrin is a hormone produced by enteroendocrine G cells in the pyloric glands.
|
| 10. | Other than gastrin, these hormones all act to turn off the stomach action.
