Hormonal Control of Pancreatic Growth

Hormonal control of pancreatic growth.

Investigations have outlined pancreatic secretory and synthetic responses to gastrointestinal hormones. However, there is little information concerning hormonal influences on pancreatic growth. These studies were designed to examine effects of chronic administration of bethanechol and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK-PZ) on the pancreas. Male albino rats were given saline, bethanechol, 6 mg/kg...

Hormonal control of pancreatic growth during fetal, neonatal and adult life.

This review article has for major objective to summarize the old and latest developments on the hormonal controls of pancreatic growth. The article deals with hormonal controls during the fetal, neonatal and adult periods of pancreas development, growth and regeneration. During the fetal period, comparisons were made between studies performed with pancreatic explants and those designed in vivo....

Hormonal control of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine secretion.

Nutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition

This review will consider the processes of skeletal muscle (myogenesis) and fat (adipogenesis) development and the factors involved in regulating them in a variety of species. In particular, the effects of hormones and maternal nutrition during different stages of pregnancy on numbers and types of skeletal muscle fibres will be considered, along with possible underlying mechanisms. Similarly, e...

Neural hormonal regulation of exocrine pancreatic secretion.

Exocrine pancreatic secretion is regulated by hormone-hormonal and neural-hormonal interactions involving several regulatory peptides and neurotransmitter from the gut, the pancreas and the vagus nerve. The roles of the gastrointestinal peptides including secretin, CCK, neurotensin, motilin, PYY and pancreatic islet hormones including insulin, pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin have been e...
