In a pregnant woman, an increased chance the baby may have Down syndrome diabetes mellitus venous thrombosis
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia Diabetes (if the patient underwent an operation to cure insulinoma, a tumor in pancreas that produce too much insulin.) Heart disease.
Helps regulate glucose balance; sends satiety signals to brain
Risk for developing diabetes increases. Hypoglycemia
High glucose levels in blood. When the glucose is high enough, some glucose may spill in urine that causes a person to urinate more frequently. This causes dehydration. Cells cannot take in glucose for energy so they take energy from other sources like fats thus making the body tired. As with insulin, lack of Amylin may lead to high levels of glucose in blood. Glucagon can also be produced too much without amylin.

Increases food intake; decreases physical activity; decreases secretion of bicarbonate
Extreme reduction in the production of many endocrine hormones. An example is the suppression of insulin that can cause diabetes. Too much of PP may inhibit too much pancreatic digestive enzymes, which break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates which can lead to deficiency of nutrients. Anorexia nervosa - complex eating disorder involving refusal to maintain a healthy body weight; an intense fear of gaining weight Ulcer and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome Characterized by too much gastric acid. Obesity Characterized by too much appetite Prader-Willi syndrome- a genetic disease in which patients have severe obesity, extreme hunger and learning difficulties Obesity Increased food intake which can result to too much nutrients.
HYPOSECRETION
Too little can let too much insulin be produced that causes hypoglycemia. Can also lead to too much secretion of growth hormones. Too little can cause too much of Somatostatin and Pancreatic enzymes that can lead to too much nutrients like glucose. Increased food intake
Affects an individual’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients.
Lack of nutrients. Because it stimulates appetite, it can cause a person to eat less and can result to inadequate nutrients.
Decreased appetite. Lack of nutrients.
HORMONE(S) GLAND/ORGAN SECRETED/ RELEASED Stomach and Small Secretin and Intestine pancreozymin
Somatostatin
Histamine Endothelin
ACTIONS Enhance effects of cholecystokin (CCK); stop production of gastric juice; stimulate pancreas to release pancreatic juice. Stimulate secretion of bicarbonate from liver; pancreas, and duodenum (Brunner’s glands) Suppresses release of gastrin, cholecystokinin (CCK), secretin, and other substances; reduces rate of gastric emptying; reduces smooth muscle contractions and intestinal blood flow Stimulates gastric acid secretion and influences smooth muscle contractions in stomach respectively.
HYPERSECRETION
Nausea Vomiting Fevers and constipation
Autism
As somatostatin inhibits many functions of the gastrointestinal tract, its overproduction may also result in the formation of gallstones, intolerance to fat in the diet and diarrhea.
Too little somatostatin can cause too much of a hormone it inhibits like, the hormone gastrin, which can lead to too much gastric acid and eventually develop into ulcer.
With the function of stimulating gastric acid secretion, too much histamine can cause an individual ulcer. Too much endothelin can cause high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart diseases.
Low levels of Histamine can give low amount of gastric acid that can affect one’s digestion.
