Abstract
Substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide and gastrin belong to the gastrointestinal hormone; 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)is a neurotransmitter.Substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide are widely present in the intestinal mucosa and play an important role in the intestinal motility and secretion.As the first gastrointestinal hormone whose molecular structure has been clarified, gastrin can promote gastrointestinal motility, for sports complex displacement damage caused by spontaneous and motilin, make the gastrointestinal movement into postprandial fasting like movement.5-HT belongs to vasoactive amines, regulates the permeability of the blood vessel wall through 5-HT receptors.In this review, the origin, distribution and progress in gastrointestinal function of vasoactive intestinal peptide, gastrin and 5-hydroxytryptamine will be summarized.
Key words:
Substance P; Vasoactive intestinal peptide; Gastrin; 5-Hydroxytryptamine; Gastrointestinal function
