A very effective "dry lab" to teach the role of GI-hormones in the regulation of digestion.  I have been using it for many years and the students learn the function of these hormones very fast.  Even though there are many more newly discovered GI-hormones, this paper gives a very good background on how research is conducted using small animals.  The data and the interpretation of the results are very instructive.

This is an excellent problem-based learning resource!  I have been using it for many years as a "dry lab" to teach the role of GI-hormones in regulating GI-function.  First students learn how to conduct an animal experiment to study specific GI-hormones and then they are given the experimental data.  Students like to solve the puzzle and explain the mechanism of action of each hormone.  Even though more hormones are known today, this study provides fundamental information about the control of digestion.
