No, but I have it for the kidney

answer is B.

The gastrins are primarily inactivated by the kidney and the small intestins. The half lives of G14 and G17 are around 2 to 3 minutes in circulation.G34 has ahalf life of 15 minutes.

I hope it help.
Thanks rida

Why does Gastrin secreting tumors cause hypertrophy of gastric mucosa, small intestine, and colon?

GASTRIN STIMULATE PARIETAL CELL AND HENCE THEIR HYPERTROPHY

  #13

Well the answer that BRS gives is that gastrin stimulates the synthesis of proteins and mRNA for these tissues, and a tumor would result in their hypertrophy and hyperplasia as these will be formed at a faster rate. Your answer is prob part of it also :o)
