Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Enterogastrone is a hormone that is released by the duodenal mucosa when fatty food is in the small intestines. It is also thought to be released when sugars and proteins are in the intestines. It acts on the stomach where it inhibits gastric movements and secretions.
