Gastrointestinal hormones are a group of hormones produced by cells within the digestive system that regulate various aspects of digestion and nutrient absorption. These hormones are released into the bloodstream and act on different target tissues and organs within the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate or inhibit certain functions. They play a crucial role in controlling the secretion of digestive enzymes, gastric acid production, motility of the gastrointestinal tract, nutrient absorption, and the feeling of hunger and satiety. Gastrointestinal hormones help maintain the balance and coordination of digestive processes, ensuring efficient breakdown and absorption of nutrients from food, and overall digestive system health.
