The document discusses various endocrine glands and hormones. It describes that the pancreas is a mixed gland that has both endocrine and exocrine functions. The pancreas produces the hormones insulin and glucagon through its endocrine role. The document also discusses other major endocrine glands like the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and gonads. It provides information on key hormones produced by these glands such as growth hormone, thyroid hormones, corticosteroids, catecholamines, sex hormones and more. Additionally, it discusses the mechanisms of hormone action and regulation of hormone release through feedback loops.
11. Somatostatin , also known as GHIH
(Growth Hormone-Inhibiting
Hormone) or SRIF ( Somatotropin
Release-Inhibiting Factor), is a growth
hormone inhibiting protein hormone .
It exists in two active forms, produced
by an alternative cleavage of the same
pre-protein: one of 14 amino acids ,
another of 28 amino acids.

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin (STG),
also known as human growth hormone (hGH or
HGH) in its human form, is a peptide hormone
that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and
cell regeneration in humans and other animals.
21. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps regulate the amount of
water in your body. It works to control the amount of water
your kidneys reabsorb as they filter out waste from your
blood. This hormone is also called arginine
vasopressin (AVP).
35. Other Pancreatic Hormones
Gastrin stimulates gastric secretion. Its
concentration changes throughout the day.
After eating, the concentration of gastrin
increases by 1.5-2 times. The synthesis of
gastrin is stimulated by a decrease in the level
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Determination of gastrin levels is used in the
diagnosis and monitoring of the treatment of
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, or gastrinoma, in
which 2/3 of patients have a 10-fold increase in
fasting serum gastrin levels (> 1000 pg / ml).
The action of somatostatin in the digestive system is to
suppress the secretion of gastrin, insulin, glucagon, and
digestive enzymes. It also inhibits the secretory activity
of other organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
Pancreatic polypeptide is a
polypeptide secreted by PP cells of
the islets of Langerhans of the
pancreas. It consists of 36 amino
acid residues and has a molecular
weight of 4200 Da. It is a
cholecystokinin antagonist.
Suppresses the secretion of the
pancreas and the secretion of
gastric juice. In the blood serum on
an empty stomach, its content is
about 80 pg / ml in the norm.

36. The steroid hormones are synthesized in the
adrenal cortex, the gonads, and the placenta;
are all derived from cholesterol and many are of
clinical importance. Steroid hormones are
synthesized in the mitochondria and smooth
endoplasmic reticulum.

Serotonin
Biochemically, the indoleamine molecule derives from the amino
acid tryptophan, via the (rate-limiting) hydroxylation of the 5
position on the ring (forming the intermediate 5-
hydroxytryptophan), and then decarboxylation to produce
serotonin
Serotonin is synthesized in serotonergic terminals from Trp,
which competes with tyrosine and the branched chain amino
acids for transport across the blood-brain barrier
Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine is synthesized in differnt tisues:
in serotonergic neurons of the CNS, specifically in the brainstem's raphe nuclei, the skin's
Merkel cells, pulmonary neuroendocrine cells and the tongue's taste receptor cells. as
monoamine neurotransmitter, where it has various functions, including the regulation of
mood, appetite, sleep, cognition, reward, learning, memory, etc. (about 8%)
The main consistence of serotonin is produces is in the gastrointestinal tract's
enterochromaffin cells, where it regulates intestinal movements for regulation of digestion,
vomiting etc. (about 90%)
it's stored in blood platelets and is released during agitation and vasoconstriction, where
it then acts as an agonist to other platelets. (about 1-2% )
