d. Enterostatin
b. Enterokinase
Peptide by-product of procolipase activation that regulates fat ingestion:
Enterostatin
What hormone INCREASES secretion of HCO3 by the pancreas?

d. Lithocolic
What occurs during the Enterohepatic circulation of bile?
a. Primary bile acids are deconjugated and secreted into the bile canaliculi
b. Bile acid secretion is controlled by amount of bile acids in portal blood
c. Bile release from the gallbladder is stimulated by Secretin
