Enterogastrone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An enterogastrone is any hormone secreted by the mucosa of the duodenum in the lower gastrointestinal tract in response to dietary lipids that inhibit the caudal (or "forward, analward") motion of the contents of chyme.

Examples include:

• secretin^[1]
• cholecystokinin^[2]
• gastric inhibitory peptide^[3]
