Abstract
Gut hormones produced and released from enteroendocrine cells have key roles not only in nutrient digestion and absorption, but also in control of appetite, nutrient deposition and storage in the body. Several types of enteroendocrine cells sense nutrients after meal ingestion and release specific gut hormones. Understanding how gut hormone responses are controlled and in turn regulate physiological outcomes is an area of active research. In addition, the role of the endocrine system in human-physiology and in pathophysiology (obesity, diabetes, and gastrointestinal diseases) has begun being investigated. The symposium was organized to present and discuss recent advances in this research field from the aspects of bench to bedside.
