Anorectic and aversive effects of GLP-1 receptor agonism are mediated by brainstem cholecystokinin neurons, and modulated by GIP receptor activation [PDF]
Objective: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are effective medications to reduce appetite and body weight. These actions are centrally mediated; however, the neuronal substrates involved are poorly understood.

Purification of the pancreatic cholecystokinin receptor [PDF]
We have previously shown that the pancreatic cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor can be solubilized in 1% digitonin. In this study, digitonin-solubilized CCK receptors from rat pancreas were purified using sequential affinity chromatography on ricin-II agarose and on AffiGel-CCK. Electrophoresis of the radioiodinated purified receptors on SDS-polyacrylamide

Expression of gastrin and cholecystokinin B receptor in Lateolabrax maculatus
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 receptor for gastrin, conveying regulatory information on gastrin ...

Glucose Intake during the Neonatal Period Modulates the Central Melanocortin System with Breed-Specific Differences [PDF]
Glucose is the primary substrate for cellular energy production, and its blood concentration is tightly regulated. This study investigated the effect of glucose supplementation during the first three days post-hatching on growth performance and ...

Cholecystokinin receptor-1 mediates the inhibitory effects of exogenous cholecystokinin octapeptide on cellular morphine dependence [PDF]
Background Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), the most potent endogenous anti-opioid peptide, has been shown to regulate the processes of morphine dependence.

Single-chain Fragment variable antibody targeting cholecystokinin-B receptor for pain reduction
The cholecystokinin B receptor and its neuropeptide ligand are upregulated in chronic neuropathic pain models. Single-chain Fragment variable antibodies were generated as preferred non-opioid targeting therapy blocking the cholecystokinin B receptor to ...

CCK2 receptors in chronic pain
The cholecystokinin receptor system, specifically cholecystokinin 2 receptor (CCK2R) is a historic target for pain management that has shown limited success. However, new approaches to target CCK2R have incited fresh enthusiasm for this target.
