Summary

Insights into the pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia, with recent demonstration of inflammation with eosinophilia and mastocytosis in the duodenum (3, 6, 7), providing a possible lead toward reduced secretion of a potential mediator of post-prandial gastric accommodation, the gastrointestinal peptide hormone secretin. The dominant site of synthesis and secretion of this hormone are enteroendocrine S cells in the duodenum. Inflammation-induced damage to these cells could produce a deficiency. Since intraluminal acid is a prominent stimulant of S cell secretion, the attempts to treat functional dyspepsia with anti-secretory medications could actually exacerbate a secretin deficiency syndrome. This raises the possibility of the therapeutic use of a secretin agonist or a positive allosteric modulator of the secretin receptor for patients with functional dyspepsia.
