Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide intestinal hormone that is released in response to food entering the intestine, and causes contractions of the gall bladder and secretion of enzymes from the pancreas. It is also found in neurons and may appear to act within the central nervous sytem (CNS) ...
For example, when your body needs food, a feedback loop triggers hunger and you eat until you're full, when another feedback loop triggers the release of Cholecystokinin (CCK), a satiation hormone, and you stop eating. Bouncing back: how we can apply the concept of resilience to achieve...
n.Abbr.CCK A hormone produced principally by the small intestine in response to the presence of fats, causing contraction of the gallbladder, release of bile, and secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes. Also calledpancreozymin. American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edit...

OBJECTIVE Cholecystokinin (CCK) isreleased in response to lipid intakeand stimulates insulin secretion. Does CCK increase gastric emptying? Cholecystokinin (CCK) is well-known as a key hormone thatinhibits stomach emptyingand stimulates midgut motility in gastric species. ...
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone discovered in the small intestine. Together with secretin and gastrin, CCK constitutes the classical gut hormone triad. In addition to gallbladder contraction, CCK also regulates pancreatic enzyme secretion and growth, intestinal motility, satiety signalling and...
Cholecystokinin(CCK) is a kind of hormones secreted by gastrointestinal tract and nervous system,which can stimulate gallbladder to contract and promote pancreas to secrete.This paper reviews the action mechanism,clinical application and prospects of CCK and provides a theoretical basis for clinical rese...
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone secreted by the gastrointestinal system that stimulates the digestion of protein and fat. CCK is synthesized and secreted by enteroendocrine cells of the duodenum and acts as a hunger suppressant. CCK participates in several processes such as digestion, satie...
Work with other fish species has shown that CCK is the principal hormone which regulates the release of pancreatic enzymes into the gut lumen and emphasizes the potential importance of CCK in early red drum larvae. This work investigated the hypothesis that some signal present in the live prey ...
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a polypeptide hormone found in the periphery that plays a major role in the gut function, in the digestive process, and in the control of feeding behavior; in the brain, it acts as a neurotransmitter and a neurom... AM Nadzan,JF Kerwin - 《Annual Reports in Me...
