Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Pediatric Practice: Endocrinology, 2e AB - Enteric hormones orchestrate appetite, food-seeking behaviors, intake, physical and chemical digestion, and the absorption of the nutrients, intricately linking the brain, the intestines, and multiple endocrine organs to sustain the energy balance of an organism. In 1902, William Maddox Bayliss and Ernest Henry Starling demonstrated that the gastrointestinal (GI) system is the body’s largest endocrine organ. Their work with secretin establishes roles of the GI system beyond digestion and nutrition and includes systemic signaling between regions of the GI system and the central nervous system (CNS) to coordinate appetite, satiety, digestion, and absorption.
