"Fat-rich, acidic chyme entering the duodenum triggers the release of
cholecystokinin, a hormone produced in the intestinal wall that decreases
gastric motility.

The acid in chyme also triggers release of secretin, another hormone.
Secretin and cholecystokinin stimulate the release of pancreatic juice that
contains bicarbonate, which buffers the effects of gastric acid, and
digestive enzymes." --Diane S. Aschenbrenner and Samantha J. Venable, Drug
Therapy in Nursing, 2008
