In the present study expression levels of secretin and secretin receptor mRNAs in several
brain regions of rats ranging in age from postnatal days 7 to 60 were investigated by …

There is growing evidence that secretin, the first hormone discovered in our history, has
functions in the brain other than in the gastrointestinal tract. This article reports for the first …

The physiological role of the duodenal peptide secretin is as a potent stimulant of electrolyte
and water movement in pancreatic and biliary epithelium, via activation of G protein …

Rationale Previous results indicate that peripheral administration of secretin leads to robust
Fos protein expression in the central nucleus of the rat amygdala. The implications of this …

Most gut peptides exert their effects through G protein-coupled receptors, a family of about
700 membrane proteins, 87 of which are presently known to have peptide ligands. Three …

Many intestinal hormones are also distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS).
However, the existence of secretin, a typical intestinal hormone, has not been clearly shown …

Summary Calcitonin (CT), α-and β-CT gene-related peptide (CGRP), adrenomedullin (AM),
and amylin belong to the calcitonin family of peptides. Six or seven amino acid ring …

The calcitonin-like receptor (CLR) associated with receptor-activitymodifying proteins
(RAMP)-1 or-2 recognizes calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin …

Secretin is a classical gastrointestinal hormone and only until recently have its neuroactive
roles are being substantiated. In this study, the precise localizations of the transcripts and …
