The hormone that inhibits gastric secretion and motility is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The hormone that inhibits gastric secretion and motility is:
A. Gastrin
B. Secretin
C. Cholecystokinin
D. Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide), released by the small intestine, inhibits gastric acid secretion and motility, and stimulates insulin release. Gastrin stimulates acid secretion, secretin stimulates bicarbonate, CCK stimulates gall bladder contraction. GIP was originally named for its gastric inhibitory effect.
