endocrine cells

Hormones are produced by endocrine cells and they travel through the blood to reach all parts of the body.

They were later found to be widely distributed in mammalian neural and endocrine cells.

Several studies have highlighted the importance of Ngn3 for differentiation of endocrine cells.

This enzyme is found in the digestive tract and in some endocrine cells.

Here, it could explain the dispersed distribution off endocrine cells within pancreatic epithelium.

Decreased release of somatostatin, insulin and glucagon from endocrine cells.

Fifteen additional patients showed nodular hyperplasia of endocrine cells that was not seen in 14 normal controls.

In our study, only six patients out of 12 had stable nodular hperplasia of endocrine cells.

Several types of endocrine cells are found in all regions of the gastric mucosa.

It was felt that high concentrations would be more likely to cause direct stimulation of the enteric endocrine cells and thus to be effective.

In 1897 he described the endocrine cells of the small intestine which now bear his name (Kulchitsky cells).

It seems possible that this material originates from rare mucosal endocrine cells expressing the gastrin gene.

The carcinoids were associated with diffuse and nodular hyperplasia of fundic endocrine cells.

Enteroendocrine cells are specialized endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.

Enteroendocrine cells of the intestine are the most numerous endocrine cells of the body.

Endocrine cells have been found in the appendix of 11-week-old fetuses that contribute to "biological control (homeostatic) mechanisms."

In addition, changes in the density of fundic mucosal endocrine cells were evaluated morphometrically.

Argyrophil (Grimelius positive) staining was supposed to detct most fundic endocrine cells.

This domain is also found in ghrelin, a growth hormone secretagogue synthesised by endocrine cells in the stomach.

Alpha cells are endocrine cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.

Endocrine Cells:

He undertook research into the characterization of endocrine cells in the pancreas, utilizing ultrastructural and fluorescent-antibody-labeling methods.

Much of his current work is focused on 'taste cells of the gut' and 'endocrine cells of the tongue'.

More recent findings indicate that hypergastrinaemia associated with pernicious anaemia leads to hyperplasia of fundic endocrine cells.

The role of peptide hormones produced by endocrine cells in fetal development is incompletely understood at present in both experimental animals and humans.
