The level of cholecystokinin and secretin in 50 patients after cholecystectomy (from 1 to 10 years ago) was analyzed to study connection between cholecystectomy and gastrointestinal hormones concentration. 30 patients with gall bladder stone disease were included into the group of comparison. Cholecystokinin and secretin concentration in the groups of research was compared with indicated hormones concentration in the group of control formed of healthy volunteers. After anamnestical clinical and diagnostical features in every group had been studied we concluded, that cholecystokinin level changes depending on period after operation and outflow of bile conditions.

The relaxin-family peptide 3 receptor (RXFP3) and its native ligand, relaxin-3, are expressed in specific populations of brain neurons, and research on this system has focused on its role in the central nervous system. However, some studies have indicated that relaxin-3 and RXFP3 are also expressed in peripheral organs, including the gut. In this study, we characterised the identity of RXFP3-expressing cells in the gastrointestinal tract, using RXFP3-Cre/tdTomato reporter mice.

Scope: Inflorescences of the female hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.) contain biologically active compounds, most of which have a bitter taste. Given the rising global obesity rates, there is much increasing interest in bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs).

The traditional nomenclature of enteroendocrine cells (EECs), established in 1977, applied the "one cell - one hormone" dogma, which distinguishes subpopulations based on the secretion of a specific hormone. These hormone-specific subpopulations included S cells for secretin (SCT), K cells for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), N cells producing neurotensin (NTS), I cells producing cholecystokinin (CCK), D cells producing somatostatin (SST), and others. In the past 15 years, reinvestigations into murine and human organoid-derived EECs, however, strongly questioned this dogma and established that certain EECs coexpress multiple hormones.

Type 1 diabetes is a disease of the endocrine pancreas; however, it also affects exocrine function. Although most studies have examined the effects of diabetes on acinar cells, much less is known regarding ductal cells, despite their important protective function in the pancreas. Therefore, we investigated the effect of diabetes on ductal function.
