Lateef DM, Washington MC, Sayegh AI. The short term satiety peptide cholecystokinin reduces meal size and prolongs intermeal interval. Peptides 2011; 32:1289-95.

Abstract
Camostat mesilate (or mesylate) releases endogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) or CCK-58, the only detectable endocrine form of CCK in the rat, and reduces cumulative food intake by activating CCK(1) receptor. However, the literature lacks meal pattern analysis and an appropriate dose-response curve for this peptide. Therefore, the current study determines meal size (MS), intermeal interval (IMI) and satiety ratio (SR) by orogastric gavage of camostat (0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 800mg/kg) and compares them to those previously reported by a single dose of CCK-8 (1nmol/kg, i.p), the most utilized form of CCK. We found that camostat (200, 300, 400 and 800mg/kg) and CCK-8 reduced cumulative food intake and the size of the first meal, but only camostat prolonged IMI and increased SR. There was no change in the duration of the first two meals or in rated behaviors such as feeding, grooming, standing and resting in response to camostat and CCK-8, but there was more resting during the IMI in response to camostat. This study provides meal pattern analysis and an appropriate dose-response curve for camostat and CCK-8. Camostat reduces food intake by decreasing MS and prolonging IMI, whereas CCK-8 reduces food intake by reducing only meal size.

Abstract
There are various forms of the satiety gut-brain peptide cholecystokinin (CCK), a short, widely utilized form or CCK-8, and a long, putatively more effective form or CCK-33. The issue of which of these forms is a more effective satiety peptide is not resolved. Here, we compared the satiety responses, including the sizes of the first three meals (MS) and intermeal intervals (IMI) as well as their calculated satiety ratios (SR), evoked by both peptides. CCK-8 and 33 (1, 3 and 5 nmol/kg, i.p) reduced the size of the first meal similarly, only CCK-33 prolonged the first IMI and increased SR and both peptides failed to affect second and third MS and IMI. As such, CCK-33 is a more effective satiety peptide than CCK-8. The current results confirm previous findings which showed that both peptides reduce food intake by inhibiting meal size, whereas only CCK-33 reduces food intake by prolonging the intermeal interval.

Washington MC, Wright SA, Sayegh AI. Gastrin releasing peptide-29 evokes feeding responses in the rat. Peptides 2011; 32:241-5.

Abstract
In mammals, gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) 10 and 27 reduce food intake. In the current work, we test the hypothesis that GRP-29, the large molecular form of GRP in the rat, also evokes feeding responses consistent with a possible role in satiety. Here, we measured three feeding responses, size of first meal, intermeal interval (IMI, time between first and second meal) and satiety ratio (SR, satiation period for every unit of food consumed in the first meal), in overnight food deprived rats following GRP-10, 27 or 29 (0, 0.3, 1.0, 2.1, 4.1, 10.3, 17.2nmol/kg) intraperitoneally and presentation of a 10% sucrose test diet. GRP-29 and GRP-27 reduced the size of the first meal, prolonged IMI and increased SR, but GRP-10 failed to exhibit similar feeding responses. The order of potency was GRP-29=GRP-27>GRP-10. The current data support a role for GRP-29 in the short-term regulation of food intake.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) activates the myenteric neurons of adult rats. The goal of this work is to determine the ontogeny of this activation by CCK-8 in the myenteric plexus of the duodenum (2cm immediately following the pyloric sphincter aborally) and compare it with that of the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) - which occurs in 1-day old pups. Despite the existence of both of the CCK receptors, CCK(1) and CCK(2), in 4, 14, 21 and 35 day old rats, CCK-8 (0, 5, 10, 20 and 40μg/kg, i.p.) increased Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI, a marker for neuronal activation) in the myenteric neurons of 21- and 35-day old rats but in the DVC of all age groups. As such, this belated activation of myenteric neurons by CCK-8 compared to the DVC may reflect a delayed role for these neurons in CCK-related functions.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2008; 150:73-80.

Abstract
UNLABELLED It has been shown in the rat that endogenous cholecystokinin (CCK), released in response to the non-nutrient trypsin inhibitor camostat, reduces food intake at meals and increases Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI; a marker for neuronal activation) in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the hindbrain but not the myenteric plexus of the duodenum and jejunum. Experiment 1: We examined Fos-LI in the myenteric and the submucosal plexuses of the gut in response to orogastric gavage of camostat in rats. As we reported previously, camostat failed to increase Fos-LI in the myenteric plexus. We show here that camostat increased Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus of the duodenum and jejunum. Camostat also increased Fos-LI in the DVC. Experiment 2: Pretreatment with devazepide, a specific CCK(1) receptor antagonist abolished camostat-induced Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus and the DVC. Experiment 3: Bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy reduced camostat-induced Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus approximately 40% and abolished it in the DVC. CONCLUSIONS Activation of the submucosal plexus by cholecystokinin at the CCK(1) receptor accompanies stimulation of the dorsal vagal complex of the hindbrain and inhibition of food intake. Unlike the submucosal plexus, activation of the myenteric plexus is not necessary for cholecystokinin's influence on the dorsal vagal complex and food intake. The lack of activation in the myenteric plexus after camostat stimulation, in contrast to nutrient releasers of CCK such as oleate, suggests that intestinal stimulants can either release different amounts of CCK or cause release of CCK from I cells with different molecular forms of CCK. This would suggest that CCK-8 is released by camostat and is not able to travel to the myenteric plexus while a more stable form of CCK such as CCK-58 can travel to this site that is further away from the I cell.

Abstract
We purified and identified the peptide YY (PYY) forms present and determined their levels from a portion of the canine ileum directly adjacent to the cecum by a new extraction method designed to prevent and evaluate degradation of endogenous peptides. We used three reverse phase chromatography steps with radioimmunoassay of fractions for PYY-like-immunoreactivity (PYY-LI). The purified fractions underwent intact protein/peptide mass spectrometry identification and sequencing (i.e. "top-down" MS analysis). This analysis confirmed the identity of a new form of PYY, PYY(1-36)-Gly, which co-elutes with PYY(1-36)-NH(2) through all three of separation steps used. The PYY(1-36)-Gly form represents approximately 20% of the total PYY found in this region of the canine intestine. In addition, we also found that the PYY(3-36)-NH(2) form represents 6% of the total PYY in the canine ileo-cecal junction. The physiological implication of the Gly-extended form of PYY(1-36) warrants further investigation.

Cholecystokinin-33 is more effective than cholecystokinin-8 in inhibiting food intake and in stimulating the myenteric plexus and dorsal vagal complex. Brain Res 2008; 1205:27-35.

Abstract
We compared the abilities of cholecystokinin-33 (CCK-33) and CCK-8 to reduce food intake and to activate feeding-related areas of the nervous system. (1) Overnight food-deprived rats were presented with a 10% sucrose solution, and intake was measured at 5-min intervals throughout a 90-min test beginning immediately after intraperitoneal injections of 1, 3, or 5 nMol/kg of CCK-33, CCK-8, or the vehicle control. In the initial 20 min (first meal), both peptides were equally effective, producing large reductions of food intake. Thereafter, however, CCK-33 was more effective than CCK-8, producing much more sustained reductions. Overall, both peptides reduced total food intake, but CCK-33 was more effective than CCK-8. (2) Possible roles for the myenteric plexus of the duodenum and the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the brainstem in the differential satiety effects of CCK-33 and CCK-8 were examined by quantifying CCK-33- and CCK-8-stimulated Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in each site. Consistent with the greater ability of CCK-33 to produce sustained inhibitions of food intake, CCK-33 produced more Fos-LI than CCK-8 in nearly every section of the sampled sites. The results demonstrate: (1) Different forms of CCK have different efficacies in reducing food intake; (2) CCK-33 produces a much more prolonged satiety action than CCK-8; and (3) the myenteric plexus and DVC may play roles in these differential satiety actions.

Abstract
We hypothesized that endogenous CCK reduces food intake by activating the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) and the myenteric neurons of the gut. To test this hypothesis, adult rats were given camostat mesilate; a nonnutrient releaser of endogenous CCK, by orogastric gavage, and Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) was quantified in the DVC and the myenteric plexus. The results for endogenous CCK were compared with those for exogenous CCK-8. Exogenous CCK-8 reduced food intake and stimulated Fos-LI in the DVC and in myenteric neurons of the duodenum and jejunum. In comparison, endogenous CCK reduced food intake and increased DVC Fos-LI but did not increase Fos-LI in the myenteric plexus. Similar to CCK-8, devazepide, a specific CCK1 receptor antagonist, and not L365,260, a specific CCK2 receptor antagonist, attenuated the reduction of food intake by camostat. In addition, Fos-LI in the DVC in response to both exogenous CCK-8 and camostat administration was significantly attenuated by vagotomy, as well as by blocking CCK1 receptors. These results demonstrate for the first time that reduction of food intake in adult rats by endogenous CCK released by a nonnutrient mechanism requires CCK1 receptors, the vagus nerve, and activation of the DVC, but not the myenteric plexus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of adrenalectomy on cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8)-induced Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in the myenteric neurons of the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) in rats. ANIMALS 16 male Sprague Dawley rats. PROCEDURES Rats were allocated to 1 of 2 groups and underwent adrenalectomy or a sham adrenalectomy procedure. Rats were challenged with a supraphysiologic dose of CCK-8 (40 microg/kg) or physiologic saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (0.5 mL) administered IP; after 90 minutes, rats were euthanized, and Fos-LI was quantified in the DVC (at the levels of the area postrema, nucleus tractus solitarii, and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus) and the myenteric neurons of the duodenum and jejunum by use of a diaminobenzidine reaction enhanced with nickel. The Fos-LI-positive cells were counted by use of an automated system and manually in the DVC and intestinal samples, respectively. Counts of Fos-LI in the different hindbrain levels and myenteric neurons were compared between the adrenalectomy--and shamtreated groups and between the CCK-8- and saline solution-treated groups. RESULTS After adrenalectomy, CCK-8-induced Fos-LI was attenuated only in the myenteric neurons of the duodenum. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicate that the adrenal gland has a role in the activation of myenteric neurons by CCK-8 in rats.

Abstract
Atropine methyl nitrate (AMN, 0.05, 0.5 and 25 mg/kg) intraperitoneally increased Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in the myenteric plexus, but not the dorsal vagal complex (DVC, the area postrema (AP), nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV)) in adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats. A 3 mg/kg AMN dose decreased intake of 15% sucrose, but failed to increase Fos-LI in both locations. In conclusion, the myenteric plexus may play a local role in the behavioral response evoked by AMN.

Abstract
Chemical sympathectomy with daily, intraperitoneal (IP) injections of guanethidine sulfate to adult rats, attenuated myenteric, but not dorsal vagal complex (DVC) Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) by cholecystokinin-8 (CCK). This technique destroys only 60-70% of the sympathetic neurons, and spares the hormonal source of catecholamines, the adrenal medulla. The goal of the current study is to evaluate the effect of complete sympathectomy or destroying 100% of the sympathetic neurons by injecting guanethidine to 1-day-old pups (40 mg/kg daily for 5 weeks), and surgically removing the adrenal medulla. In the DVC, demedullation and sympathectomy-demedullation increased Fos-LI by CCK in the area postrema and nucleus of the solitary tract, but sympathectomy-demedullation increased it only in the area postrema. In the myenteric plexus, sympathectomy increased this response in the duodenum, and demedullation increased it in the duodenum and jejunum. On the other hand, sympathectomy-demedullation attenuated myenteric Fos-LI in the jejunum. These results indicate that catecholamines may play an inhibitory role on the activation of the DVC neurons by CCK. In the myenteric neurons, however, catecholamines may have both inhibitory and excitatory roles depending on the level of the intestine e.g., duodenum vs. jejunum. This may also indicate that CCK activates the enteric neurons by different mechanisms or through different pathways.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to measure the relative efficacy and potency of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) given by intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intravenous (i.v.) injection to stimulate Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in neurons of the myenteric plexus in the duodenum and jejunum. The subjects for his experiment were 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats divided into eight treatment groups (n=5 rats per treatment). Four groups of rats were injected with 5, 10, and 40 microg/kg sulfated CCK-8 and saline (control) i.p., and the remaining groups with the same treatments i.v. We then detected Fos-LI, a marker for neuronal activation, in the myenteric plexus of the duodenum and jejunum, in response to the previous doses and routes. All of the CCK-8 doses administered by both routes increased Fos-LI in the myenteric plexus of the duodenum and jejunum significantly more than saline did. Although both routes were efficacious in increasing Fos-LI, CCK-8 i.p. was significantly more potent than CCK-8 i.v. These data provide immunohistochemical evidence that i.p. administration of CCK-8 is a more potent stimulant of Fos-LI in the neurons of the myenteric plexus of the duodenum and jejunum than i.v. injection.

Abstract
Vagotomy and capsaicin treatment attenuate dorsal vagal complex (DVC) but not myenteric Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) induced by cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8). The goal of this experiment is to test the role of the sympathetic nervous system in the pathway by which CCK-8 increases myenteric Fos-LI. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with guanethidine sulfate (40 mg/kg daily for 5 weeks) or vehicle intraperitoneally (IP), and injected with CCK-8 (40 microg/kg) or saline IP. Fos-LI was then quantified in the DVC and the myenteric neurons of the duodenum and jejunum using a diaminobenzidine reaction. Guanethidine pretreatment attenuated myenteric but not DVC Fos-LI induced by CCK-8. These findings demonstrate that sympathetic neurons play a role in mediating the myenteric Fos-LI response to CCK. They also suggest differential mediation of myenteric and DVC responses to CCK.

Abstract
We utilized a diaminobenzidine reaction enhanced with nickel to compare dorsal vagal complex (DVC) and myenteric neuronal Fos-Like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI), in response to sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) (5, 10, 20, 40 microg/kg), among Sprague-Dawley (SD), Standard Long-Evans (SLE), Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF), and Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats. All rat strains but OLETF expressed Fos-LI in response to CCK-8. In addition, SD rats expressed more Fos-LI in the area postrema and myenteric neurons than SLE and LETO rats. To investigate the basis for these differences, we utilized cuprolinic blue staining, which stains neuronal cell bodies, to quantify the number of myenteric neurons, and a reverse transcriptase chain polymerase reaction to measure the gene expression of CCK(1) receptor in the gut. We found that SD rats have significantly more duodenal myenteric neurons than the other strains. In addition, this strain expressed significantly higher levels of the CCK(1) gene in both the duodenum and jejunum than the other strains. In conclusion, SD rats may express more myenteric Fos-LI in response to CCK due to increased numbers of myenteric neurons or more intestinal CCK(1) receptors than the other strains of rats.

Abstract
To examine the role of cholecystokinin1 receptor (CCK1) in the activation of brainstem and myenteric neurons by CCK, we compared the ability of exogenous CCK-8 to induce Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in these neurons in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, lacking CCK1 receptors, and Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) controls. Five groups (n=4 rats per group) of OLETF rats, and five LETO control groups, were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with 5, 10, 20, and 40 microg/kg CCK-8 or saline. Forty-micrometer brainstem sections containing the area postrema, nucleus of the solitary tract, and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, and myenteric neurons of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum underwent a diaminobenzidine reaction enhanced with nickel to reveal Fos-LI. CCK-8 did not increase Fos-LI in any of the tested neurons in the OLETF rats. CCK-8 increased Fos-LI in the brainstem of the LETO rats in a dose dependent manner. In the LETO rats only 40 microg/kg CCK-8 increased Fos-LI in the myenteric plexus of the jejunum. This study demonstrates that CCK-8 activates the brainstem and myenteric neurons through the CCK1 receptor.

Abstract
Intestinal infusion of nutrients, such as glucose and oleic acid, increase Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in both the enteric nervous system and neurons of the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the hindbrain. To test the hypothesis that increased Fos-LI in enteric neurons and the DVC, following intestinal nutrient infusions is mediated by cholecystokinin(1) receptors (CCK(1)), we counted enteric and DVC neurons that expressed Fos-LI following intestinal infusion of oleate or glucose, with and without pretreatment with the CCK(1) receptor antagonist, lorglumide. Both oleate and glucose infusions increased Fos-LI in the DVC. Oleate also increased Fos-LI in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the duodenum and the jejunum, but not the ileum, while glucose only increased Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus of the ileum. The CCK(1) receptor antagonist, lorglumide, abolished Fos-LI in the DVC following infusions of either oleate or glucose. In addition, lorglumide attenuated oleate-induced Fos-LI in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the duodenum and jejunum. However, lorglumide failed to attenuate glucose-induced Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus of the ileum. These data confirm previous reports indicating that CCK(1) receptors mediate increased DVC Fos-LI following intestinal infusion of oleate or glucose. CCK(1) receptors also contribute to increased Fos-LI in enteric neurons following intestinal oleate infusion. However, failure of lorglumide to attenuate the increase of Fos-LI in the ileal submucosal plexus following intestinal glucose suggests that some intestinal nutrients trigger Fos-LI induction via CCK(1) receptor-independent pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of cholecystokinin (CCK)-receptor antagonists in the activation of enteric and hindbrain neurons by sulfated CCK-8. ANIMALS 81 male Sprague-Dawley rats. PROCEDURE Rats were allocated to 10 groups (5 to 22 rats/group). Each rat received 2 IP injections (15 minutes between injections). The first injection consisted of a specific CCK2-receptor (CCK2R) antagonist (L365,260; 150, 500, or 1,000 microg/kg), a specific CCK1-receptor (CCK1R) antagonist (devazepide; 150 microg/kg), or 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO [ie, vehicle]), and the second injection consisted of sulfated CCK-8 (10 microg/kg) or saline (0.9% NaCl) solution. Rats were anesthetized and perfused with 500 mL of Krebs saline solution, and the myenteric plexuses of the duodenum and jejunum were collected. Rats were then perfused with 500 mL of phosphate-buffered 4% formaldehyde solution; rats were then euthanatized, and the hindbrain of each was harvested. Tissues were stained by use of a diaminobenzidine reaction enhanced with nickel to reveal Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI), a marker of neuronal activation, in the aforementioned neurons. RESULTS Sulfated CCK-8 significantly increased Fos-LI in the myenteric and hindbrain neurons, compared with values for the DMSO injections. All dosages of L365,260 failed to attenuate this increase; however, injection of devazepide attenuated the increase in Fos-LI. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Analysis of the results of this study reveals that sulfated CCK-8 activates myenteric and hindbrain neurons of rats primarily through CCK1 R. It provides evidence that CCK2R are lacking or not functional in the gastrointestinal tract of rats.

Abstract
There exists individual enteroendocrine cells spread throughout the gastrointestinal mucosa that release specific peptide, as well as nonpeptide, hormones to have various endocrine action on target cells bearing cell surface receptors selectively sensitive to these regulatory substances. Following receptor activation, a series of events is set into motion that serves to transduce the information imparted to the target cell. Such transduction mechanisms are numerous, and may be excitatory or inhibitory to the cell depending upon which G-protein subunits the receptor is coupled.

Abstract
Nutrients entering the small intestine trigger a variety of neural and endocrine reflexes that involve specific afferents, efferents and interneurons, many of which are located within the enteric nervous system (ENS). We hypothesized that intestinal nutrient stimuli might activate specific subpopulations of these neurons. To test this hypothesis, we utilized immunohistochemical detection of nuclear c-fos expression in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the rat small intestine following intraintestinal infusions of oleate or glucose. Additionally, we used dual label methods to detect both Fos-immunoreactivity and immunoreactivity for five phenotypic neuronal markers: neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R), neurofilament-M (NF-M), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS), calbindin (Cal) and calretinin (Calr), to characterize neurons that were activated by intestinal infusion of oleate and glucose. We found that oleate and glucose activated myenteric neurons in the duodenum and jejunum, but not the ileum. Oleate and glucose infusions significantly increased the number of Fos-immunoreactive nuclei in the submucosal plexus of the duodenum and jejunum, however, only glucose increased Fos-immunoreactivity in the ileum. Oleate and glucose infusions were associated with a small increase in Fos-immunoreactivity in NOS-immunoreactive neurons in the myenteric plexus. In the submucosal plexus, the majority of neurons activated by intestinal infusion of oleate or glucose were immunoreactive to Cal and Calr. In the rat, many of these neurons have Dogiel Type II-like morphology, which is consistent with the possibility that these neurons function as mucosal afferents in reflexes activated by nutrient stimuli.

Abstract
Characterization of the enteric neurons is vital for understanding their physiological role. We have used single and dual label fluorescence and peroxidase-based immunohistochemistry in myenteric and submucosal whole mounts from the rat small intestine to evaluate the morphology and distribution of enteric neurons immunoreactive for the following phenotypic antigens: neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS), neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R), calretinin (Calr), calbindin (Cal), and neurofilament-M (NF-M). NOS-immunoreactive neurons had Dogiel type I morphology, were abundant in the myenteric plexus compared to the submucosal plexus, and never coexpressed NK-1R immunoreactivity. NK-1R- and Calr-immunoreactive neurons had Dogiel type II morphology and were distributed comparably in both plexuses. NK-1R and Calr-immunoreactivity were coexpressed in many of the same neurons. Calbindin-immunoreactive neurons exhibited four distinct morphologies: small and large Dogiel type II neurons, Dogiel type I neurons, and small elongated neurons. These neurons were significantly fewer in number in the myenteric plexus compared to the submucosal plexus. Neurofilament-M-immunoreactive neurons had three morphologies, Dogiel type II neurons, small Dogiel type II neurons, and a less common subpopulation of small, elongated, multipolar neurons. These neurons were also fewer in number in the myenteric plexus compared to the submucosal plexus. The distribution of these phenotypic markers may assist future work that elucidates the functional activities of these enteric neurons such as control of intestinal motility and adaptation to the entry of gastric contents.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone released from the I-cells of the upper small intestine. CCK evokes a variety of physiological responses, such as stimulation of pancreatic secretion, reduction of food intake and inhibition of gastric emptying. Previously, we reported that CCK activates enteric neurons in the rat. However the specific subpopulations of enteric neurons activated by CCK have not been identified. In the work reported here, we utilized immunohistochemical detection of nuclear Fos, a marker for neuronal activation, and selected phenotypic markers to identify some of the neuronal subpopulations activated by CCK. The phenotypic markers that we examined were: nitric oxide synthase (NOS), neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R), calbindin (Cal), Calretinin (Calr), and neurofilament-M (NF-M). We found that in the myenteric plexus of the rat duodenum and jejunum, CCK activated NOS immunoreactive neurons. In the submucosal plexus of duodenum and jejunum, CCK activated Cal, Calr and NF-M immunoreactive neurons. CCK failed to activate NK-1R immunoreactive neurons in either plexus. Our results indicate that CCK activates distinct enteric neurons in the rat upper small intestine. Furthermore the fact that NOS immunoreactive neurons were activated suggests that CCK modulates the activity of inhibitory motor neurons in the myenteric plexus. Expression of Fos immunoreactivity in Calr and Cal immunoreactive neurons is consistent with a role for CCK in modulation of intrinsic sensory and/or secretomotor neuronal activity in the submucosal plexus.
