| gastric adenocarcinoma |
any of a group of common stomach cancers, usually located in the antrum; it may present as a bulky mass with central ulceration invading the wall, a mass that narrows the antral lumen, a polypoid lesion, or a tumor that spreads superficially over the mucosal surface. It is common in Japan, Chile, Iceland, and Finland but the incidence is decreasing in North America and elsewhere. There may be links to certain dietary substances such as nitrosamines and benzpyrene. ...

| gastric inhibitory polypeptide |
(GIP) glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, a polypeptide hormone (molecular weight 5165; 43 amino acids) synthesized by K cells in the midzone of the duodenal and jejunal mucosa and released in response to oral glucose, fat, or amino acids; it is a potent insulin stimulant, increases insulin secretion, and inhibits gastric secretion and motility.
