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.
消化系统内分泌学在过去15年一直是一个令人振奋的研究领域。研究表明,肠道因其分泌的多种激素,本身应被视为一个内分泌腺。本文讨论了围绕这些激素的性质、起源和功能及其在人类临床医学中的作用的问题。尽管答案并不完整且具有临时性,但却为胃肠病学家开辟了极具吸引力的前景。
