Cholecystokinin (CCK) has emerged as an important mammalian neuropeptide, localized in
peripheral organs and in the central nervous system. This review presents an overview of …

Satiation, the process that brings eating to an end, and satiety, the state of inhibition over
further eating, may be influenced by cholecystokinin (CCK). In animal and human studies, it …

CCK-33 was infused intravenously to groups of 9 lean and 9 obese volunteers in doses that
elicited plasma CCK concentrations in the physiological range. The effect of these infusions …

Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) has been proposed to mediate the central satiating
effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) through the vagal CCK1 receptor. PrRP acts as an …

Conveniently synthesized novel N-(protected α-tri-, tetra-and pentapeptidoyl) benzotriazoles
couple in aqueous acetonitrile solution at 0 C with free amino acids, dipeptides, and …

Publisher Summary Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a polypeptide hormone found in the periphery
that plays a major role in the gut function, in the digestive process, and in the control of …

A series of analogs of Ac-CCK-7 [Ac-TyrtSOaHj-Met^-Gly^-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NHa,(1)] were
prepared in which the Met28-Gly29 dipeptide was replaced by w-aminoalkanoic acids …

New analogues of cholecystokinin-7 (CCK-7) modified at amino acid residues 5 and 7 were
assayed for their effect on gall bladder, pancreatic secretion, food intake (anorectic activity) …

Cholecystokinin (CCK) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are two peptides with opposite effects on
the regulation of feeding behaviour. The possible interaction between these two systems …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and cholecystokinin (CCK) are two peptides involved in opposite
ways in the control of food intake. A possible interaction between NPY and CCK has not yet …
