enteroendocrine cells

Enteroendocrine cells are sometimes called "argentaffins", because they take up this stain.

Gastric enteroendocrine cells are found at stomach glands, mostly at their base.

Enteroendocrine cells do not form endocrine glands but are spread throughout the digestive tract.

Enteroendocrine cells are specialized endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.

Enteroendocrine cells of the intestine are the most numerous endocrine cells of the body.

Enteroendocrine cells are located in the stomach, in the intestine and in the pancreas.

Histamine is a paracrine secretion from the enteroendocrine cells in the gastric glands.

The enteroendocrine cells also secrete glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide.

Chyme also stimulates duodenal enteroendocrine cells to release secretin and cholecystokinin.

Intestinal enteroendocrine cells are not clustered together but spread as single cells throughout the intestinal tract.

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2) is a 33-amino acid proglucagon-derived peptide produced by intestinal enteroendocrine cells.

Pancreatic enteroendocrine cells are located in the islets of Langerhans and produce most importantly the hormones insulin and glucagon.

When Hes1 is deleted in mouse and zebrafish, surplus goblet cells and enteroendocrine cells are made while few enterocytes are made.

Hyperactivated Notch causes a reduction in the number of secretory cell types (i.e. goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, and Paneth cells).

Paneth cells, along with goblet cells, enterocytes, and enteroendocrine cells, represent the principal cell types of the epithelium of the small intestine.

NeuroD, also called Beta2, is a basic helix loop helix transcription factor expressed in certain parts of brain, beta pancreatic cells and enteroendocrine cells.

The gastrointestinal hormones (or gut hormones) constitute a group of hormones secreted by enteroendocrine cells in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine that control various functions of the digestive organs.

Enterochromaffin and enterochromaffin-like cells, both being enteroendocrine cells, are also considered neuroendocrine cells due to their structural and functional similarity to chromaffin cells, although they are not derivatives of the neural crest.

Stem cells divide, giving rise to both new stem cells and to daughter cells that generate the distinct epithelial lineages of the small intestine - namely functional Paneth, absorptive, goblet, and enteroendocrine cells.

These CBC cells generate the plethora of functional cells in the intestinal tissue: Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells, goblet cells, tuft cells, columnar cells and the M cells over an adult's entire lifetime.

The present study was designed to test whether massive (90%) PSBR would remove sufficient enteroendocrine cells to prevent the hypercholecystokininaemia of lesser enterectomies and, if not, whether the CCK receptor antagonist CR-1409 would blunt the adaptive response of the pancreas.

Stimulation of the pathway leads to the association of β-catenin with BCL9, translocation to the nucleus, and association with TCF7L2, which in turn results in the activation of Wnt target genes, specifically repressing proglucagon synthesis in enteroendocrine cells.
