Cholecystokinin: Clinical aspects of the new biology
Abstract Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a classic gut hormone that has been known for almost a century to regulate gallbladder emptying, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and gastrointestinal motor activity. In 1968, the CCK structure was identified by Viktor Mutt and Erik Jorpes from porcine gut extracts as a peptide of 33 amino acid residues.

Abstract Blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) and mugwort (Artemisia campestris L.) are plants traditionally used to treat various pathologies, including hypertension. The vasodilatory and hypotensive effects of blackberry were investigated through experiments in rat models (n = 5 rats per group) and compared with those of mugwort, which had been ...

Chronic and acute mediators of passive viscoelasticity in human skeletal muscle fibres
Abstract The cellular viscoelastic modulus in skeletal muscle tissue responds dynamically to chronic stressors, such as age and exercise. Passive tissue mechanics can also be sensitive to acute stimuli, such as mechanical loading and/or activation‐induced muscle fatigue.
