Application

Gastrin is a linear polypeptide that induces the secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by parietal cells. Gastrin is found in three major forms: gastrin-34 (big gastrin); gastrin-17 (little gastrin) and gastrin-13 minigastrin.

Gastrin release is affected by gastric inflammatory conditions. Antral G cells respond to inflammatory mediators by increasing gastrin secretion. Accumulating experimental evidence suggests that gastrin exerts immunomodulatory and proinflammatory effects. Gastrin could be a contributing factor to these pathologies, which

The review summarizes the past year's literature regarding the regulation of gastric exocrine and endocrine secretion, both basic science and clinical. Gastric acid secretion is an elaborate and dynamic process that is regulated by neural (efferent and afferent), hormonal (e.g.
