As food leaves the stomach, gastric secretion is reduced.Which of these factors does NOT contribute to this reduction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pepsinogen in the duodenum does not contribute to the reduction of gastric secretion. Pepsinogen is a precursor to pepsin, which is an enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach. Once food leaves the stomach and enters the duodenum, pepsinogen is converted to pepsin, which continues to break down proteins. However, this conversion does not play a role in reducing gastric secretion.
