Enteroendocrine cells release hormones and neurotransmitters to regulate nutrient absorption, digestion, motility, feeding behaviours and sensory perception.
One percent of the intestinal epithelium is represented by the Enteroendocrine Cells (EEC)
Based on their cytoarchitecture and location, Enteroendocrine Cells (EEC) are divided into open type, with a bottle-neck shape and a pr…
