CCK: The Complete Biology of the Body's Primary Gut Satiety Hormone
This comprehensive CCK review covers its dual role as a satiety signal (reducing meal size) and digestive hormone (gallbladder contraction, pancreatic secretion), with CCK-A receptors as validated obesity drug targets.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
CCK operates as both the primary gut satiety signal (reducing meal size through vagal afferent and brain CCK-A receptors) and a digestive coordinator (gallbladder contraction, pancreatic secretion) — the most comprehensively characterized gut hormone.
