Administration of CCK, in humans and animals, inhibits food intake by reducing meal size and its duration.17,18 Recent work suggests that CCK-A receptors expressed by vagal afferent neurons are an important target for CCK in producing sensations of satiety, as well as inhibiting gastric emptying and stimulating pancreatic digestive enzyme secretion.19 In animals it is thought that the reduction in food intake may be mediated by a paracrine/neurocrine effect since high concentrations of CCK occur only locally to the site of release.20 Thus, locally released CCK may increase vagal tone, without a significant increase in plasma CCK level
Additional comparison was made with targeted protein measurements of serum samples from age- and sex-matched autoantibody-negative unaffected family members (UFMs, n =194)
In each formulation tested, the weight loss leveled off in mice treated with the plasmids
