Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of N- and C-Terminally Modified Secretin Analogs for the Human Secretin Receptor. [PDF]
The pleiotropic role of human secretin (hSCT) validates its potential use as a therapeutic agent. Nevertheless, the structure of secretin in complex with its receptor is necessary to develop a suitable therapeutic agent. Therefore, in an effort to design

Pleiotropic Effects of Secretin: A Potential Drug Candidate in the Treatment of Obesity?
Secretin is the first hormone that has been discovered, inaugurating the era and the field of endocrinology. Despite the initial focus, the interest in its actions faded away over the decades. However, there is mounting evidence regarding the pleiotropic

Microbial stimulation of oxytocin release from the intestinal epithelium via secretin signaling
Intestinal microbes impact the health of the intestine and organs distal to the gut. Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a human intestinal microbe that promotes normal gut transit, the anti-inflammatory immune system, wound healing, normal social behavior in

Esophageal Perforation in Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A Scoping Review of Management and Outcomes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Esophageal perforation in Zollinger–Ellison syndrome (ZES) is an exceedingly rare and life‐threatening manifestation of gastrinoma‐related acid hypersecretion. While peptic ulceration and severe reflux are recognized complications of ZES, perforation represents the ultimate consequence of uncontrolled hyperacidity. Evidence remains confined to

The Role of Bile in the Regulation of Exocrine Pancreatic Secretion [PDF]
As early as 1926 Mellanby (1) was able to show that introduction of bile into the duodenum of anesthetized cats produces a copious flow of pancreatic juice.

Spatial intensity distribution analysis quantifies the extent and regulation of homodimerization of the secretin receptor [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated that the G protein-coupled secretin receptor is present as a homo-dimer, organized through symmetrical contacts in transmembrane domain IV, and that receptor dimerization is critical for high potency signalling by secretin.
