Peptides: Other Hormones

  • Chapter
Mediators and Drugs in Gastrointestinal Motility II

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 59 / 2))

Abstract

The hypothalamus of most vertebrate species secretes two main peptides whose activities, though overlapping, fall into two different categories: pressor and uterine-contracting substances. In addition some gastrointestinal motor effects have been described and they will be reported here.
