Background
Gastrins are a family of sequence-related carboxyamidated peptides produced by endocrine G cells of the antrum mucosa, and are potent stimulators of gastric acid secretion. Antral distension, partially digested proteins, amino acids, and vagal stimulation resulting from smelling, tasting, chewing or swallowing food all contribute to gastrin release from G Cell storage. In addition, caffeine, alcohol, hypoglycemia, antacids and elevated calcium levels also stimulate gastrin release. Increased serum gastrin levels are associated with duodenal ulcers, Helicobacter pylori infections, colorectal carcinomas, and other tumors and cancerous lesions.
