Enterogastrone, a hormone secreted by
the duodenal mucosa when fatty food is in the stomach or
small intestine; it is also thought to be released when sugars and
proteins are in the intestine.
Enterogastrone is transported by the bloodstream to the glands
and muscles of the stomach, where it inhibits gastric
movements of possibly by blocking the production or
activity of gastrin.
Whereas the Gastrin stimulates acid secretion by stimulating
histamine release from ECL cells.Enterogastrone may slow down
stomach emptying by reducing the amount of acid produced.
