L-365260 is a CCK2 selective antagonist. Enhances amphetamine-induced stimulation of locomotor activity in rats (a model of drug abuse), inhibits thyroid carcinoma (TT)-cell proliferation (potential therapeutic implication for cancer treatment); bilateral injection into the medulla reverses both tactile allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia.

This study provides the first evidence that CCK-8 (0.01 pM to 0.1 mM) stimulates Na,K-ATPase in the cortical membranes of wild-type and CCK(2) receptor-deficient mice. In each genotype, the maximal stimulation was about 40%. Homozygous mice revealed substantially lower EC50

To study the effect of gastrin on the mRNA and protein expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) in human colon cancer cells and detect the role of p38 MAPK in this process. Lipofectin method was used to transfect pCR3. 1/CCK2R

Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) is a physiological antagonist of endogenous opioids in the central nervous system (CNS). Our previous work has shown that CCK-8 plays an important role in the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia and electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia in
The peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) is one of the major neurotransmitters modulating satiety, nociception, and anxiety behavior. Although many behavioral studies showing anti-analgesic and anxiogenic actions of CCK have been reported, less is known about its cellular action in the central

This study investigates the effects of Uliveto, a bicarbonate-alkaline mineral water, in experimental models of diarrhea, constipation and colitis. Rats were allowed to drink Uliveto or oligomineral water (control) for 30 days. Diarrhea and constipation were evoked by 16,16-dimethyl-prostaglandin E(2)
