Abstract
Neurotensin is a brain-gut tridecapeptide. It can be released into the circulation upon ingestion of a meal, or when the jejuno-ileal segment of the human gut is exposed to a mixed meal. Among the various constituents of the products of food digestion, fatty acid is the most potent in stimulating immunoreactive neurotensin release. This response is dose dependent. The physiological role of postprandial changes of circulating neurotensin needs further elucidation.Entities:
