It was suggested that the secretions that were responsible for the antimicrobial effect could also account for the growth-promoting activity of maggots. It was even claimed that the abundant growth of granulation tissue was‚ at least in part‚ a response to the physical stimulation of the maggots crawling over the wound33 although this is now considered unlikely.

major role in regulating blood volume because it controls the amount of water to be excreted and the amount of water to be reabsorbed. 2. Regulates electrolytes in the blood by controlling the secretion and reabsorption of sodium and potassium ions. 3. Regulates the pH of the blood by controlling the secretion and reabsorption of hydrogen ions. When more hydrogen ions are excreted from the blood‚ it renders the blood less acidic (more alkaline). But if more hydrogen ions are retained in the blood‚

growing and oocytes maturing. The low levels of estrogen inhibit secretion of the pituitary hormones‚ keeping the levels of FSH and LH relatively low. The levels of FSH and LH‚ however‚ shoot up sharply when the secretion of estrogen by the growing follicle begins to rise steeply. Whereas a low level of estrogen inhibits the secretion of pituitary gonadotrophins‚ a high concentration has the opposite effect: It stimulates the secretion of gonadotrophins by acting of the hypothalamus to increase its

ductless glands because they have no ducts connecting them to specific body parts. The hormones they secrete are released directly into the bloodstream. In contrast‚ the exocrine glands‚ such as the sweat glands or the salivary glands‚ release their secretions directly to target areasfor example‚ the skin or the inside of the mouth. Some of the body’s glands are described as Endo-exocrine glands because they secrete hormones as well as other types of substances. Even some nonglandular tissues produce

Insulin secretion was significantly increased with the inclusion of 20 nM dulaglutide at the high dose of glucose (16.8 mM)‚ and no significant increase in insulin secretion was observed in the low dose of glucose (2.8 mM). Unmodified GLP-1 caused a 4-fold increase in insulin secretion‚ whereas dulaglutide caused a 3-fold increase in insulin secretion‚ demonstrating that dulaglutide is nearly as efficacious as GLP-1 in stimulating insulin secretion.
