The gastrointestinal tract is extremely rich in endocrine cells and secretes a myriad of hormones, including ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1(GLP1), gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), cholecystokinin (CCK), amylin, peptide YY (PYY), oxyntomodulin, and leptin. Mechanical distention of the stomach elicits mechanoreceptors within the gastric wall sensing tension, stretch, and volume, which then send brain signals through vagal and spinal sensory nerves.
