Study Set Content:
Its principal effect involves bone resorption and calcium release but also promotes absorption of calcium from the gut and renal tubules.
Parathyrin
Has a hypocalcemic effect and contains 32 amino acid residues
Calcitonin
Used to treat Pagets disease or osteitis deformans, a weakened deformed bone of increased mass, which may lead to bowing of long bones and deformation of flat bones.
Calcitonin
Used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis
Calcitonin
Hormones secreted by the intestinal mucosa
Gastrointestinal Hormones:
Gastrointestinal Hormones:
- Cholecystokinin
- Gastrin
- Secretin
Contains 33 amino acid residues, obtained from porcine duodenal mucosa, used in the diagnostic of pancreatic disorders. It is also used as a diagnostic aid in cholecystography.
Cholecystokinin
It stimulates the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes, the flow of bile and the contraction of the gallbladder.
Cholecystokinin
A polypeptide hormone secreted by certain cells of the pyloric glands, which strongly stimulates secretion of gastric acid and pepsin; and weakly stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and gallbladder contraction.
Gastrin
A linear polypeptide containing 27 amino acid residues. - Normally increases the bicarbonate content and volume of secretion from the pancreas
Secretin
A synthetic pentapeptide with effects similar to those of natural gastrin. It is also used for diagnostic purposes.
Pentagastrin
