Digested Proteins Release Peptides That Trigger CCK From Gut Hormone Cells

In VitroPreliminary evidence
The takeaway

Protein hydrolysates directly stimulated CCK release from enteroendocrine cells and acted as partial CCK1 receptor agonists, revealing how protein digestion products directly trigger satiety hormone secretion.

Key finding

Protein hydrolysates directly stimulated CCK secretion from STC-1 enteroendocrine cells and showed partial CCK1 receptor agonist activity, demonstrati

What the researchers found

Protein hydrolysates directly stimulated CCK secretion from STC-1 enteroendocrine cells and showed partial CCK1 receptor agonist activity, demonstrating dual mechanisms: dietary peptides both trigger satiety hormone release AND directly activate satiety receptors.

Why it matters

Relevant for bioactive-food-peptides, neuropeptides, weight-loss.
