  • Title: [The intestines: an endocrine gland with multiple secretions].
    Author: Casthélaz M, Griessen M, Felber JP.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1977 Jan 15; 107(2):33-7. PubMed ID: 834977.
    Abstract:
    The endocrinology of the digestive system has been a stimulating area of research for 15 years. Studies have shown that the intestine, with the many hormones it secretes, is to be considered an endocrine gland per se. The questions surrounding the nature, origin and functions of these hormones, and their role in human clinical medicine, are discussed. The answers, although incomplete and provisional, open highly interesting perspectives for the gastroenterologist.
