Mammalian studies have shaped our understanding of the endocrine control of appetite and
body weight in vertebrates and provided the basic vertebrate model that involves central …

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is well-known as a key hormone that inhibits stomach emptying and
stimulates midgut motility in gastric species. However, the function of CCK related to gut …

The effects of nutrient and mechanical sensing on gut motility and intestinal metabolism in
lower vertebrates remains largely unknown. Here we present the transcriptome response to …

Control of appetite and feed intake in fish larvae are still largely unexplored. Two of the key
players in controlling vertebrate's feed intake are cholecystokinin (CCK) and peptide YY …

Yangtze sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus) is a species endemic to Yangtze River drainage in
China and is listed as a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List. In the present …

Cholecystokinin (CCK) plays a key role in the digestive physiology of vertebrates. However,
very little is known about the role of CCK on intestinal functions in fish. The present study …

Cholesterol cholelithiasis is a common disease and gallbladder hypomotility may underlie
its pathogenesis. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in the gallbladder serve vital roles in …

Gastrin (gas) is a peptide hormone that stimulates gastric acid secretion by gastric parietal
cells and stimulates gastric motility. The cholecystokinin B receptor (cckbr) can act as a …

MicroRNA (miRNAs) are small non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), with an average length
of 22 nucleotides, and act as posttranscriptional regulators of mRNA. These ncRNAs have …

Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is a cold-water belonging to the
Pleuronectidae family and is native to Norwegian waters. Halibut is a high valued food …
