Peptide YY (PYY)
Inhibits gastric and pancreatic secretions, slows gastric emptying, and decreases appetite.
Somatostatin
Inhibits the release of many other hormones, slows gastric emptying, and reduces gastric acid secretion.
Secretin
Stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate-rich juice, neutralizing stomach acid entering the small intestine.
Motilin
Regulates gastrointestinal motility and initiates migrating motor complexes in the small intestine.
Gastrin
Stimulates acid secretion by the stomach, aids in gastric motility, and promotes growth of gastric mucosa.
Enteroglucagon
Inhibits gastric acid secretion and motility, and promotes intestinal mucosal growth.
Ghrelin
Stimulates appetite and increases gastric motility and acid secretion.
Insulin
Regulates blood glucose levels by facilitating cellular glucose uptake and inhibiting glucose production by the liver.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
Enhances insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, and decreases appetite.
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
Stimulates the gallbladder to release bile, aids in pancreatic enzyme secretion, and slows gastric emptying.
Glucagon
Increases blood glucose levels by stimulating glycogen breakdown and glucose release by the liver.
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP)
Regulates pancreatic secretion activities and influences hepatic glycogen levels and gastrointestinal motility.
