What is a VIPoma non-β islet cell of the pancreas, that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) causing watery diarrhea --> dehydration, hypoK, achlorhydria, acidosis, vasodilation (flushing and hypotension), hypercalcemia and hyperglycemia.
VIPoma is associated with what MEN I
What is Zollinger Ellison syndrome non–beta islet cell (islet of Langerhans), gastrin-secreting tumor (gastrinoma) in pancreas -> stimulates the parietal cells to release max H+, with consequent gastric/duodenal ulceration and parietal cell hyperplasia
