The intestine constitutes the largest interface between a person and his or her environment,
and an intact intestinal barrier is thus essential in maintaining health and preventing tissue …

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a 33-amino-acid proglucagon-derived peptide secreted
from enteroendocrine L cells. GLP-2 circulates at low basal levels in the fasting period, and …

Proglucagon contains the sequence of two glucagonlike peptides, GLP-1 and GLP-2,
secreted from enteroendocrine cells of the small and large intestine. GLP-1 lowers blood …

Peptide hormones are secreted from endocrine cells and neurons and exert their actions
through activation of G protein-coupled receptors to regulate a diverse number of …

The glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1 and GLP-2) are proglucagon-derived peptides
cosecreted from gut endocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion. GLP-1 acts as an …

The glucagon-like peptides GLP-1 and GLP-2 are produced in enteroendocrine L cells of
the small and large intestine and secreted in a nutrient-dependent manner. GLP-1 regulates …

Background & Aims: Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-2, a product of the proglucagon gene, is
expressed in enteroendocrine cells of the small and large intestine and is trophic to the …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is innervated by the enteric nervous system (ENS), an
extensive neuronal network that traverses along its walls. Due to local reflex circuits, the …
