Abstract excerpt
The intestinal hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) inhibits food intake via stimulation of vagal afferent neurons (VAN). Recent studies suggest that CCK also regulates the expression of some G protein-coupled receptors and neuropeptide transmitters in these neurons. The aim of the present study was to characterize the expression of cannabinoid (CB)1 receptors in VAN and to determine whether stimulation of these...
