Role of Gastric Receptors in Gastrointestinal DisorderBy Ambika Nand Jha, Varsha R. Gaikwad
Abstract: The established and potential roles of cholecystokinin1 and cholecystokinin2 receptors in gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases are analyzed, along with findings from human studies involving agonists and antagonists. While there is considerable evidence implicating cholecystokinin1R in various diseases such as pancreatic disorders, motility disorders, tumor growth, satiety regulation, and cholecystokinin-deficient states, its specific role in these conditions remains ambiguous. Conversely, the role of cholecystokinin2R in physiological (e.g., atrophic gastritis) and pathological …
