Mass 3055.47 Formula C130H220N44O41 Sequence H-His-Ser-Asp-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Glu-Leu-Ser-Arg-Leu-Arg-Asp-Ser- Ala-Arg-Leu-Gln-Arg-Leu-Leu-Gln-Gly-Leu-Val-NH2 Purity >95% Secretin is a peptide hormone produced in the S cells of the duodenum in the crypts of Lieberkühn. Its primary effect is to regulate the pH of the duodenal contents via the control of gastric acid secretion and buffering with bicarbonate. Secretin stimulates the secretion of bile from the liver. It also increases watery bicarbonate solution from pancreatic duct epithelium. Pancreatic acinar cells have secretin receptors in their plasma membrane. As secretin binds to these receptors, it stimulates adenylate cyclase activity and converts ATP to cyclic AMP.[12] Cyclic AMP acts as second messenger in intracellular signal transduction and leads to increase in release of watery carbonate.It is known to promote the normal growth and maintenance of the pancreas. Secretin increases water and bicarbonate secretion from duodenal Brunner's glands in order to buffer the incoming protons of the acidic chyme.[13] It also enhances the effects of cholecystokinin to induce the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile from pancreas and gallbladder, respectively. It counteracts blood glucose concentration spikes by triggering increased insulin release from pancreas, following oral glucose intake.<[14] It also reduces acid secretion from the stomach by inhibiting gastrin release from G cells.[citation needed] This helps neutralize the pH of the digestive products entering the duodenum from the stomach, as digestive enzymes from the pancreas (eg, pancreatic amylase and pancreatic lipase) function optimally at neutral pH.[citation needed] In addition, secretin simulates pepsin secretion which can help break down proteins in food digestion. It also stimulates release of glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin.

ELEFTHERIADIS*, V. TZIOUFA 1, K. KOTZAMPASSI and H. ALETRAS Departments of Surgery and Pathology1, University of Thessaloniki, Greece We describe the histological and histochemical changes of the common bile-duct mucosa in specimens obtained by means of peroral cholangioscopy, 1-12 years after choledochoduodenal anastomosis. Our findings- hyperplasia of the superficial epithelium, metaplastic goblet cells containing predominantly acid sialomucins, and pyloric-like gland formation containing neutral mucins- express a morphological and functional differentiation of the common bile-duct mucosa that probably facilitates its survival in a different environment. We consider that these adaptive changes may explain the uneventful long-term postoperative period of choledochoduodenostomized patients. KEY WORDS" Common bile duct, choledochoduodenal anastomosis, adaptation, peroral cholangio- scopy. INTRODUCTION After choledochoduodenal anastomosis (CDA), the common bile-duct mucosa (CBDM) is exposed to a different environment, no longer being protected by the sphincter of Oddi. Although, theoretically, this new environment i.e. gastric acid and food flowing through the anastomosis- should affect it, both clinical practice and experimental data have shown no evidence

Brazil5, Vu L. Ngo1, Emilie Viennois6, Didier Merlin6,7, Andrew T. Gewirtz1, Asma Nusrat5 & Timothy L. Denning1* 1234567890():,; Gut microbiota and their metabolites are instrumental in regulating intestinal homeostasis. However, early-life microbiota associated influences on intestinal development remain incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that co-housing of germ-free (GF) mice with specific-pathogen free (SPF) mice at weaning (exGF) results in altered intestinal gene expression. Our results reveal that one highly differentially expressed gene, erythroid dif- ferentiation regulator-1 (Erdr1), is induced during development in SPF but not GF or exGF mice and localizes to Lgr5+ stem cells and transit amplifying (TA) cells. Erdr1 functions to induce Wnt signaling in epithelial cells, increase Lgr5+ stem cell expansion, and promote intestinal organoid growth. Additionally, Erdr1 accelerates scratch-wound closure in vitro, increases Lgr5+ intestinal stem cell regeneration following radiation-induced injury in vivo, and enhances recovery from dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colonic damage. Col- lectively, our findings indicate that early-life microbiota controls Erdr1-mediated intestinal epithelial proliferation and regeneration in response to mucosal damage. 1 Center for Inflammation, Immunity & Infection, Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, 100 Piedmont Ave, Atlanta, GA 30303, USA. 2 Neuroscience Institute and Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 3 INSERM, U1016, Paris, France. 4 Université de Paris, Paris, France.

Neural and Neuroendocrine Control of Digestion: Regulation of Gastrointestinal Hormone Secretion (Chapter 15 in “Eckert Animal Physiology) (Chapter 4 in Hill, Wise & Anderson: “Animal Physiology”) (Chapter 10 in Hadley: “Endocrinology”) General Concepts Covered: — neural and neuroendocrine integration of a complex physiological process — co-ordination of endocrine and exocrine secretion — exocrine secretion affecting endocrine status — endocrine influences on neural, muscle and secretory functions — paracrine and autocrine effects — local influences — positive and negative “feed-back” actions — enzymatic cascades — integration of carbohydrate, fat and protein digestion and appetite control General Introduction — digestion requires co-ordination of movement of food particles, mechanical and chemical digestion of food — opening and closing of sphincter muscles to contain food particles in certain gut compartments for appropriate processing, also control passage through compartments — proper sequential enzymatic processing General Introduction (cont.) — peristaltic action to move food through gut — kneading movement to mix food particles with enzymes and to expose new surfaces for digestion, as well as for absorption From Eckert Secretin - first proposed hormone — 1902, WM Baylist and EH Starling (observations in dogs) — addition of food or acid in stomach is usually followed by pancreatic enzyme secretion into intestine — dennervate and tie off duodenum from stomach, then 1) add acid to stomach - no pancreatic enzyme secretion 2) add acid to

Pancreatic Amylase
1. Functional Anatomy • The pancreas which lies parallel to and beneath the stomach is composed of: 1. The endocrine islets of Langerhans which secrete: Hormone Type of cell % of secretion Insulin Beta cells 60% crucial for normal regulation of glucose, Glucagon Alpha cells ~25% lipid & protein metabolism Somatostatin delta cells ~10% 1. Acinar gland tissues which produce pancreatic juice (the main source of digestive enzymes). • The pancreatic digestive enzymes are secreted by pancreatic acini. • Large volumes of sodium Bicarbonate solution are secreted by the small ductules and larger ducts leading from the acini. • Pancreatic juice is secreted in Response to the presence of Chyme in the upper portions of the small intestine. 2. Major Components of Pancreatic Secretion and Their Physiologic Roles & 5. Activation of Pancreatic Enzymes • The major functions of pancreatic secretion: 1. To neutralize the acids in the duodenal chyme to optimum range (pH= 7.0-8.0) for activity of pancreatic enzymes. 2. To prevent damage to duodenal mucosa by acid & pepsin. 3. To produce enzymes involved in the digestion of dietary carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Pancreatic Enzymes: The pancreas secrests enzymes that act on all major types of food stuffs. 1. Pancreatic Proteolytic Enzymes (Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Carboxypolypeptidase, Elastase) • Trypsin & Chymotrypsin split whole and partially digested proteins into peptides of various sizes but do not cause release of individual amino acids. • Carboxypolypeptidase splits some peptides into individual amino acids, thus completing digestion of some proteins to amino acids. • When first synthesized in the pancreatic cells, digestive enzymes are in the inactive forms; these enzymes become activated only after they are secreted into the intestinal tract.
