Abstract

The field of gut peptides is constantly evolving, as new members are being discovered and knowledge of existing members increases. This review is by nature selective, and the description of each peptide and the bibliography reflects that. The peptide growth factors and cytokines produced by the gut were not included. A very good book reviewing the gut peptides that includes these substances appeared in 1994 (1).
