Gastrointestinal neurotensin receptors: lack of modulation by thyrotropin releasing hormone
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1985 AbstractTo examine whether thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) antagonized gastrointestinal neurotensin receptors in isolated segments of the rat fundus, duodenum and ileum, tissues were superfused, mounted and the isometric tension recorded. Picomoles of neurotensin caused concentration-dependent contractions of the fundus and relaxation of the smooth

Bitter taste receptors influence glucose homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 TAS1R- and TAS2R-type taste receptors are expressed in the gustatory system, where they detect sweet- and bitter-tasting stimuli, respectively. These receptors are also expressed in subsets of cells within the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, where they

Urocortins in the mammalian endocrine system
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019 Urocortins (Ucns), peptides belonging to the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) family, are classified into Ucn1, Ucn2, and Ucn3. They are involved in regulating several body functions by binding to two G protein-coupled receptors: receptor type 1 ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2013 Foregut neuroendocrine tumors [NETs] usually pursuit a benign course, but some show aggressive behavior. The treatment of patients with advanced NETs is marginally effective and new approaches are needed. In other tumors, transactivation of the EGF receptor (EGFR) by growth factors, gastrointestinal (GI) hormones and lipids can stimulate growth, which ...
