Secretagogue
text:
In endocrinology, secretagogue is a substance that causes another substance to be secreted. The word contains the suffix -agogue, which refers to something that leads to something else; a secretagogue thus leads to secretion. One example is gastrin, which stimulates the H/K ATPase in the parietal cells. Pentagastrin, a synthetic gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine are also gastric secretagogues. Insulin secretagogues, such as sulfonylureas, trigger insulin release by direct action on the KATP
