The effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide sulfate ester (CCK-8-SE) and unsulfated cholecystokinin (CCK-8-NS) were studied following intraventricular administration on active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour of rats. In the CCK-8-NS and CCK-8-SE treated animals the acquisition of active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour were considerably impaired compared to the control; furthermore, these peptides caused a facilitated extinction of active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour. The data suggest that cholecystokinin octapeptide is capable of modifying the fear and hunger motivated behaviours of rats.

Interaction between central cholecystokinin and dopaminergic system in layer-type chickens' food intake.

Behav Brain Res

March 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.

The mechanisms governing food intake and appetite regulation in the brain are intricate and vary across different animal species. Dopamine and cholecystokinin (CCK) are recognized as two critical neurotransmitters involved in the control of food intake; however, the potential interactions between these neurotransmitters remain poorly understood. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the interactions between central CCK and the dopaminergic system in the feeding behavior of layer-type chickens.

Proteomic Insights into the Effects of Jianweixiaoshi Tablets on Functional Dyspepsia with Spleen Deficiency in Rats.

Drug Des Devel Ther

November 2024

State Key Laboratory for the Modernization of Classical and Famous Prescriptions of Chinese Medicine, Nanchang, 330096, People's Republic of China.

Background: Jianweixiaoshi tablets (JWXS) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating functional dyspepsia with spleen deficiency (SD-FD) in China. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of JWXS remain incompletely understood.

Methods: Functional dyspepsia was induced in rats with spleen deficiency by iodoacetamide in combination with the modified multiple platform method.

Background: Rikkunshito (RKT), a traditional Japanese medicine, can relieve epigastric discomfort and anorexia in patients with functional dyspepsia. RKT enhances the orexigenic hormone, ghrelin. Ghrelin regulates food motivation by stimulating the appetite control center in the hypothalamus and the brain mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway (MDPW).

Effects of Cholecystokinin on Esophageal Motor Response to Distension in Asymptomatic Volunteers.

J Neurogastroenterol Motil

July 2024

Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA.

Background/aims: Cholecystokinin (CCK) administration has been shown to reduce lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure in normal subjects in manometric studies. Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) panometry offers a method to assess esophageal motility in response to sustained distension though mechanisms related to this response remain unexplored. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of CCK-8 on the esophageal response to distension in asymptomatic volunteers using FLIP.

Article Synopsis
  • * LTP was found to decrease levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prevent microglial activation, suggesting a protective role against inflammatory damage in the brain following AICH.
  • * The research implies that LTP may work through the gut-brain axis by increasing cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) levels and altering expressions of key proteins in both the brain and intestine, thereby mitigating neuroinflammation.
