Pathophysiology of gastrointestinal hormones. Implications for paediatrics

European Journal of Pediatrics
I Henrichs, W M Teller

Abstract

Gastrointestinal hormones (GI hormones) have received growing interest in endocrinology, gastroenterology and neuroendocrinology. Because of new methodological techniques, they can be measured in plasma and therefore be related to different pathophysiological conditions. In childhood, our present knowledge is as yet limited to the physiological rôle of gastrin at different ages and in some diseases (gastrinoma; Verner-Morrison syndrome) caused by humoral dysfunction. The present review relates the clinical important GI hormones to chemically classified families. The diagnostic value of determining endogenous hormone concentration in plasma and the validity of function tests carried out by administration of exogenous hormones are pointed out. Particular emphasis is given to the trophic action of GI hormones in the development and function of the gastrointestinal tract during childhood. More speculatively, GI hormones are involved in the complex function of the central nervous system, thus making food intake a trophotropic action in a broader sense.

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Adenoma, Islet Cell

Islet Cell Adenoma arises in the islet cells, which are insulin producing cells of the pancreas. These tumors can be either malignant or benign. Discover the latest research on Islet Cell Adenoma here.
