Solution
The correct option is D GIP
- Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) or gastro inhibitory peptide, also known as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, is an inhibiting hormone of the secretin family of hormones.
- While it is a weak inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, its main role is to stimulate insulin secretion.
- It is synthesized by K cells, which are found in the mucosa of the duodenum and the jejunum of the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, the GIP hormone stimulates the lipase activity
So, the correct answer is 'GIP'.
