Enterogastrone

A. Gastrin is secreted in stomach by the parietal cells and stimulates the secretion of gastric juices from the gastric glands.

B. Secretin is secreted in duodenum and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic juice but inhibits the secretion of gastric juices.

C. Enterogastrone is secreted from the duodenal mucosa and decreases the secretion of gastric juices.

D. Cholecystokinin is secreted from the duodenum and causes contraction of gall bladder and secretion of pancreatic juice into duodenum.

So, the correct answer is 'Enterogastrone'.
