in the present study the effects of both cck receptor agonists and antagonists on antinociception induced by morphine in the tail-flick test have been evaluated. m orphine induced dose-dependent antinociception in mice. the response of morphine was potentiated by sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (cck-8s) but not by unsulfated cholecystokinin-8 (cck-8u). the cck receptor antagonists mk-329 and l-365, ...

cholecystokinin (cck), a peptide hormone found in the gut, is the most abundant peptide neurotransmitters in the brain, and its acute effects on the brain activity have been shown. in this study we aimed to evaluate the acute effects of cck on short-term synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus (dg) of the rat hippocampus. via stereotaxic surgery, the stimulating and the recording electrodes we...

Objective(s): Cholecystokinin (CCK) has been proposed as a mediator in stress. However, it is still not fully documented what are its effects. We aimed to evaluate the effects of systemic administration of CCK exactly before induction of stress on spatial memory and synaptic plasticity at CA1 in rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: the control, the control-C...

Cholecystokinin 33 (CCK) was infused intravenously to eight healthy obese women and 10 healthy lean women of the same age, in doses that elicited plasma cholecystokinin concentrations in the physiological range. The effect of these infusions after a standardised banana 'shake' (preload) on food intake and satiety signals was compared with the effect of saline infusions in the same subjects. For...

introduction: it has been demonstrated that cholecystokinin sulfated octapeptide (cck-8s) can affect synaptic transmission in the hippocampus. because one of the major experimental models to understand the events happening in synaptic plasticity is to study the long-term potentiation (ltp), we decided to investigate the effect of concomitant administration of cck-8s and tetanic stimulation of s...
