Various regions of the Alimentary Tract secrete hormones which have various functions within the gastrointestinal tract itself, plus the liver, gall bladder and pancreas.
Many of the hormones act in a paracrine fashion, exerting their effect on cells close to the secretion site without travelling in the bloodstream.
| Hormone | Site of Secretion within GIT | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cholecystokinin | Duodenum | Stimulates digestion of fat and protein by causing release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gall bladder. |
| Gastrin | G-Cells in stomach and duodenum | Stimulates Parietal cells in the stomach to secrete HCl and Chief cells to secrete pepsinogen. |
| Gastric Inhibitory Peptide | Duodenumand Jejunum | Inhibits gastric motility and HCl secretion in the stomach, induces insulin secretion. |
| Ghrelin | Stomach and Pancreas | Increases food intake (by stimulating hunger) at the level of the hypothalamus. |
| Secretin | Crypts of Leiberkuhn in the Duodenum | Causes secretion of bicarbonate to buffer the pH of the chyme entering the small intestine. Also triggers insulin release. |
| Somatostatin | Gastric glands of the stomach | Inhibits release of gastrin and HCl from the stomach, inhibits secretin and cholecystokinin release from the duodenum and inhibits release of glucagon from the pancreas. |
