An enteroendocrine full package solution.
The regulatory repertoire of the enteroendocrine L cell is now supplemented by Cox et al. (2010) with a two-way paracrine loop to the neighboring enterocytes. A picture of a close local interplay in the intestine between lipid and peptide messenger systems, both exploiting paracrine, endocrine, and neuronal pathways, is emerging.
