Abstract
Neuropeptide W (NPW), a novel hypothalamic peptide, contributes to the central regulation of food intake and energy balance, and suppresses feeding behavior when administered centrally. The aim of our study was to investigate the role of peripherally administered NPW in the modulation of gastric emptying, and to evaluate the participation of afferent fibers, cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors and gastric smooth muscle contractility in the regulatory effects of NPW on gastric motility. In Sprague-Dawley male rats equipped with gastric fistula, gastric emptying rate of the saline and peptone solutions was measured following subcutaneous administration of NPW (0.1 or 5 μg/kg) preceded by subcutaneous injections of saline, CCK-1 or CCK-2 receptor antagonists. Another group of rats with cannulas were injected subcutaneously with capsaicin for afferent denervation before commencing emptying trials. The effect of NPW on carbachol-induced gastric contractility and the role of CCK receptors in gastric smooth muscle contractility were also assessed in gastric strips. Peripheral injection of NPW delayed gastric emptying rate of both caloric and non-caloric liquid test meals, while administration of CCK-1 or CCK-2 receptor antagonists or denervation of small diameter afferents reversed NPW-induced delay in gastric emptying. Moreover, NPW inhibited antrum contractility in the organ bath. Our results revealed that peripherally administered NPW delayed liquid emptying from the stomach via the involvement of small diameter afferent neurons and CCK receptors, and thereby this regulatory role may contribute to its central regulatory role in controlling food intake and energy balance.

Abstract
Pharmacological and dietary interventions targeting postprandial glycemia have proved effective in reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. Besides meal composition and size, the timing of macronutrient consumption during a meal has been recently recognized as a key regulator of postprandial glycemia. Emerging evidence suggests that premeal consumption of non-carbohydrate macronutrients (i.e., protein and fat "preloads") can markedly reduce postprandial glycemia by delaying gastric emptying, enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin release, and decreasing insulin clearance. The same improvement in glucose tolerance is achievable by optimal timing of carbohydrate ingestion during a meal (i.e., carbohydrate-last meal patterns), which minimizes the risk of body weight gain when compared with nutrient preloads. The magnitude of the glucose-lowering effect of preload-based nutritional strategies is greater in type 2 diabetes than healthy subjects, being comparable and additive to current glucose-lowering drugs, and appears sustained over time. This dietary approach has also shown promising results in pathological conditions characterized by postprandial hyperglycemia in which available pharmacological options are limited or not cost-effective, such as type 1 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and impaired glucose tolerance. Therefore, preload-based nutritional strategies, either alone or in combination with pharmacological treatments, may offer a simple, effective, safe, and inexpensive tool for the prevention and management of postprandial hyperglycemia. Here, we survey these novel physiological insights and their therapeutic implications for patients with diabetes mellitus and altered glucose tolerance.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disease of women in reproductive age. It is characterized by anovulation and hyperandrogenism. Most often patients with PCOS have metabolic abnormalities such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. It is not surprising that obesity is high prevalent in PCOS. Over 60 % of PCOS women are obese or overweight. Modulation of appetite and energy intake is essential to maintain energy balance and body weight. The gastrointestinal tract, where nutrients are digested and absorbed, plays a central role in energy homeostasis. The signals from the gastrointestinal tract arise from the stomach (ghrelin release), proximal small intestine (CCK release), and distal small intestine (GLP-1 and PYY) in response to food. These hormones are recognized as "appetite regulatory hormones." Weight loss is the key in the treatments of obese/overweight patients with PCOS. However, current non-pharmacologic management of body weight is hard to achieve. This review highlighted the gastrointestinal hormones, and discussed the potential strategies aimed at modifying hormones for treatment in PCOS.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate cholecystokinin (CCK) release in pregnant women with and without hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). MATERIAL AND METHODS In this case-control study including 40 pregnant women with HG and 40 women with healthy uncomplicated pregnancies, serum CCK levels in addition to hematological, biochemical and hormonal parameters were investigated. RESULTS Serum CCK values were found to be significantly lower in pregnant women with HG (P < 0.001). Additionally, while serum blood urea nitrogen and free thyroxine levels were significantly higher, sodium, potassium, and thyroid stimulating hormone levels were significantly lower in women with HG than in control women. No correlation was detected between CCK and other parameters like ketonuria and thyroid function tests. CONCLUSIONS CCK release has been found to be halved in pregnant women with HG, which supports the hypothesis that gastrointestinal motility is increased in pregnant women with HG. A causal effect remains to be confirmed.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal dysmotility is a common feature of critical illness, with a number of significant implications that include malnutrition secondary to reduced feed tolerance and absorption, reflux and aspiration resulting in reduced lung function and ventilator-associated pneumonia, bacterial overgrowth and possible translocation causing nosocomial sepsis. Prokinetic agent administration can improve gastric emptying and caloric delivery, but its effect on nutrient absorption and clinical outcomes is, as yet, unclear. Postpyloric delivery of nutrition has not yet been demonstrated to increase caloric intake or improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility and gut hormones have been considered to be involved in the development and maintenance of obesity. Our aim was to assess the relationships between gastric emptying (GE), GI transit and gut hormones and leptin concentrations in diet-induced obese rat model. Male 6-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-fat (HF) diet for 8weeks to generate diet-induced obesity (DIO) and diet resistant (DR) rats. GE, GI transit and plasma ghrelin, cholecystokinin (CCK), PYY and leptin concentrations were determined in DIO, DR and control (CON) rats. The DIO rats had slower GE, higher plasma leptin and CCK concentrations, and lower plasma ghrelin concentration compared with CON and DR rats. GE was correlated with plasma ghrelin (r=0.402, P=0.028), CCK (r=-0.518, P=0.003) and leptin concentration (r=-0.514, P=0.004). The slower GE, which can be considered as an adaptive response aimed at HF diet induced obesity, may be mediated by changes of plasma ghrelin, CCK and leptin concentrations.

Abstract
CCK mediates the effects of nutrients on gastrointestinal motility and appetite. Intravenously administered CCK stimulates pyloric pressures, increases plasma PYY, and suppresses ghrelin, all of which may be important in the regulation of appetite and energy intake. The dose-related effects of exogenous CCK on gastrointestinal motility and gut hormone release, and the relationships between these effects and those on energy intake, are uncertain. We hypothesized that 1) intravenous CCK-8 would have dose-dependent effects on antropyloroduodenal (APD) pressures, plasma PYY and ghrelin concentrations, appetite, and energy intake and 2) the suppression of energy intake by CCK-8 would be related to the stimulation of pyloric motility. Ten healthy men (age 26 +/- 2 yr) were studied on four separate occasions in double-blind, randomized fashion. APD pressures, plasma PYY and ghrelin, and appetite were measured during 120-min intravenous infusions of 1) saline ("control") or 2) CCK-8 at 0.33 ("CCK0.33"), 3) 0.66 ("CCK0.66"), or 4) 2.0 ("CCK2.0") ng.kg(-1).min(-1). After 90 min, energy intake at a buffet meal was quantified. CCK-8 dose-dependently stimulated phasic and tonic pyloric pressures and plasma PYY concentrations (r > 0.70, P < 0.05) and reduced desire to eat and energy intake (r > -0.60, P < 0.05) without inducing nausea. There were relationships between basal pyloric pressure and isolated pyloric pressure waves (IPPW) with plasma CCK (r > 0.50, P < 0.01) and between energy intake with IPPW (r = -0.70, P < 0.05). Therefore, our study demonstrates that exogenous CCK-8 has dose-related effects on APD motility, plasma PYY, desire to eat, and energy intake and suggests that the suppression of energy intake is related to the stimulation of IPPW.

Abstract
AIMS Functions of the gut hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) include an important role in the regulation of gastric emptying, postprandial glucose homeostasis, and postmeal satiety. Postprandial CCK responses are significantly blunted in type 2 diabetic patients by unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that hyperinsulinemia and lipid infusion influence circulating levels of biologically active CCK. METHODS Eleven healthy subjects were studied in a cross-over design after 10-h overnight fasts, using euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps for 443 min, with an additional infusion of lipid-heparin (1.25 ml.min(-1)) or saline (1.25 ml.min(-1)) for the last 300 min after constant plasma glucose levels were achieved. RESULTS Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemia resulted in a sustained, up to 5-fold increase of plasma CCK (P < 0.001). When adding lipid infusion instead of saline, CCK concentrations rapidly declined and returned to baseline levels (CCK(300 min) 1.1 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.3 +/- 0.3 pmol/liter, P < 0.001). Partial intraclass correlation showed an independent correlation of plasma CCK with free fatty acids (r(ic) = -0.377, P < 0.001) but not with serum insulin (r(ic) = 0.077, P = 0.32). Whole-body insulin sensitivity decreased in lipid-exposed subjects (M value 7.1 +/- 0.7 vs. 5.6 +/- 0.9 mg.kg.min(-1), P = 0.017) but was not independently correlated with CCK (r(ic) = 0.040, P = 0.61). CONCLUSIONS We report novel findings showing that circulating CCK markedly increased in the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic state, possibly as a result of near-complete suppression of circulating free fatty acids. Moreover, raising blood lipids even moderately by lipid infusion rapidly and significantly interfered with this effect, suggesting that a negative feedback mechanism of blood lipids on circulating CCK might exist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether a high-resolution solid-state catheter system could detect regional pressure changes within the antrum and pylorus in response to CCK-octapeptide. METHODS Subjects received a 30 min infusion of CCK-octapeptide at either 0.02 or 0.06 microg kg(-1) h(-1). RESULTS Five males and two females were studied. Mean antral pressure during phase I MMC increased from 5.3 +/- 2.1 to 9.9 +/- 2.4 mmHg (P = 0.028) after infusion. At the pylorus, only the 0.06 microg kg(-1) h(-1) dose increased tonic pressure (8.8 +/- 1.4 to 17.6 +/- 2.0 mmHg; P = 0.01) as compared with the 0.02 microg kg(-1) h(-1) dose (4.7 +/- 0.7 to 7.3 +/- 0.4 mmHg; P = NS). The peak pressure of pyloric phasic pressure waves was 153 +/- 28.4 mmHg and their frequency was 4.9 +/- 1.1 contractions min(-1). CONCLUSIONS CCK-octapeptide elicits both tonic and phasic activity of the pyloric sphincter. The contractile response to a dose of 0.06 mug kg(-1) h(-1) is greater than the response to 0.02 mug kg(-1) h(-1).

Abstract
There is evidence from studies in animals that the effects of both fat and CCK on gastrointestinal function and energy intake are attenuated by consumption of a high-fat diet. In humans, the effects of exogenous CCK-8 on antropyloroduodenal motility, plasma CCK, peptide YY (PYY), and ghrelin concentrations, appetite, and energy intake are attenuated by a high-fat diet. Ten healthy lean males consumed isocaloric diets (~15,400 kJ per day), containing either 44% (high-fat, HF) or 9% (low-fat, LF) fat, for 21 days in single-blind, randomized, cross-over fashion. Immediately following each diet (i.e., on day 22), subjects received a 45-min intravenous infusion of CCK-8 (2 ng.kg(-1).min(-1)), and effects on antropyloroduodenal motility, plasma CCK, PYY, ghrelin concentrations, hunger, and fullness were determined. Thirty minutes after commencement of the infusion, subjects were offered a buffet-style meal, from which energy intake (in kilojoules) was quantified. Body weight was unaffected by the diets. Fasting CCK (P < 0.05), but not PYY and ghrelin, concentrations were greater following the HF, compared with the LF, diet. Infusion of CCK-8 stimulated pyloric pressures (P < 0.01) and suppressed antral and duodenal pressures (P < 0.05), with no difference between the diets. Energy intake also did not differ between the diets. Short-term consumption of a HF diet increases fasting plasma CCK concentrations but does not affect upper gut motility, PYY and ghrelin, or energy intake during CCK-8 infusion, in a dose of 2 ng.kg(-1).min(-1), in healthy males.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We previously reported that a single preprandial injection (120 microg) of pramlintide, an analog of the beta-cell hormone amylin, reduced ad libitum food intake in obese subjects. To further characterize the meal-related effects of amylin signaling in humans, we studied a lower pramlintide dose (30 microg) in normal-weight subjects. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, 15 healthy men (age, 24 +/- 7 years; BMI, 22.2 +/- 1.8 kg/m(2)) underwent a standardized buffet meal test on two occasions. After an overnight fast, subjects received a single subcutaneous injection of pramlintide (30 microg) or placebo, followed immediately by a standardized pre-load meal. After 1 hour, subjects were offered an ad libitum buffet meal, and total caloric intake and meal duration were measured. RESULTS Compared with placebo, pramlintide reduced total caloric intake (1411 +/- 94 vs. 1190 +/- 117 kcal; Delta, -221 +/- 101 kcal; -14 +/- 9%; p = 0.05) and meal duration (36 +/- 2 vs. 31 +/- 3 minutes; Delta, -5.1 +/- 1.4 minutes; p < 0.005). Visual analog scale profiles of hunger trended lower and fullness higher during the first hour after pramlintide administration. In response to the buffet, hunger and fullness changed to a similar degree after pramlintide and placebo, despite subjects on pramlintide consuming 14% fewer kilocalories. Visual analog scale nausea ratings remained near baseline, without differences between treatments. Plasma peptide YY, cholecystokinin, and ghrelin concentrations did not differ with treatment, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 concentrations after meals were lower in response to pramlintide than to placebo. DISCUSSION These observations add support to the concept that amylin agonism may have a role in human appetite control.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of exogenous CCK-8 and GLP-1, alone and in combination, on ghrelin and PYY secretion. Nine healthy males were studied on four occasions. Plasma ghrelin and PYY concentrations were measured during 150 min intravenous infusions of: (i) isotonic saline, (ii) CCK-8 at 1.8 pmol/kg/min, (iii) GLP-1 at 0.9 pmol/kg/min or (iv) CCK-8 and GLP-1 combined. CCK-8 markedly suppressed ghrelin and stimulated PYY when compared with control between t=0-120 min (P<0.001 for both). GLP-1 had no effect on ghrelin, but decreased PYY slightly at 120 min (P<0.05). During infusion of CCK-8+GLP-1, there was comparable suppression of ghrelin (P<0.001), but the stimulation of PYY was less (P<0.001), than that induced by CCK-8, between t=20-120 min. In conclusion, in healthy subjects, in the doses evaluated, exogenous CCK-8 suppresses ghrelin and stimulates PYY, and exogenous GLP-1 has no effect on ghrelin and attenuates the effect of CCK-8 on PYY.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholecystokinin (CCK) and peptide YY (PYY) are released in response to intestinal nutrients and play an important physiological role in regulation of gastric emptying (GE). Plasma CCK and PYY concentrations are elevated in critically ill patients, particularly in those with a history of feed intolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between CCK and PYY concentrations and GE in critical illness. METHODS GE of 100 mL of Ensure meal (106 kcal, 21% fat) was measured using a 13C-octanoate breath test in 39 mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients (24 males; 55.8 +/- 2.7 years old). Breath samples for 13CO2 levels were collected over the course of 4 hours, and the GE coefficient (GEC) (normal = 3.2 to 3.8) was calculated. Measurements of plasma CCK, PYY, and glucose concentrations were obtained immediately before and at 60 and 120 minutes after administration of Ensure. RESULTS GE was delayed in 64% (25/39) of the patients. Baseline plasma CCK (8.5 +/- 1.0 versus 6.1 +/- 0.4 pmol/L; P = 0.045) and PYY (22.8 +/- 2.2 versus 15.6 +/- 1.3 pmol/L; P = 0.03) concentrations were higher in patients with delayed GE and were inversely correlated with GEC (CCK: r = -0.33, P = 0.04, and PYY: r = -0.36, P = 0.02). After gastric Ensure, while both plasma CCK (P = 0.03) and PYY (P = 0.02) concentrations were higher in patients with delayed GE, there was a direct relationship between the rise in plasma CCK (r = 0.40, P = 0.01) and PYY (r = 0.42, P < 0.01) from baseline at 60 minutes after the meal and the GEC. CONCLUSION In critical illness, there is a complex interaction between plasma CCK, PYY, and GE. Whilst plasma CCK and PYY correlated moderately with impaired GE, the pathogenetic role of these gut hormones in delayed GE requires further evaluation with specific antagonists.

Abstract
Previous observations suggest that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is released into the bloodstream only when dietary carbohydrate enters the duodenum at rates that exceed the absorptive capacity of the proximal small intestine to contact GLP-1 bearing mucosa in more distal bowel. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of modifying the length of small intestine exposed to glucose on plasma concentrations of GLP-1 and also glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), insulin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and ghrelin, and antropyloric pressures. Glucose was infused at 3.5 kcal/min into the duodenum of eight healthy males (age 18-59 yr) over 60 min on the first day into an isolated 60-cm segment of the proximal small intestine ("short-segment infusion"); on the second day, the same amount of glucose was infused with access to the entire small intestine ("long-segment infusion"). Plasma GLP-1 increased and ghrelin decreased (P < 0.05 for both) during the long-, but not the short-, segment infusion. By contrast, increases in plasma CCK and GIP did not differ between days. The rises in blood glucose and plasma insulin were greater during the long- than during the short-segment infusion (P < 0.05). During the long- but not the short-segment infusion, antral pressure waves (PWs) were suppressed (P < 0.05). Isolated pyloric PWs and basal pyloric pressure were stimulated on both days. In conclusion, the release of GLP-1 and ghrelin, but not CCK and GIP, is dependent upon >60 cm of the intestine being exposed to glucose.

Abstract
There is a growing worldwide epidemic of obesity. Obese people have a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and hence present increasing social, financial and health burdens. Weight loss is always difficult to achieve through lifestyle changes alone, and currently licensed anti-obesity drug treatments, such as orlistat and sibutramine, if tolerated, only achieve modest weight loss. Therefore, there is a need to identify more potent pharmacological targets. In the last 10 years, discoveries of new hormones such as leptin and ghrelin, together with greater understanding of previously described hormones such as cholecystokinin (CCK), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), have led to a rapid increase in our knowledge of the regulation of energy balance. Among the most important factors, controlling appetite and satiety are peptide hormones released from the gut. In this paper, we provide a full up-to-date overview of the current state of knowledge of this field, together with the potential of these peptides as drugs, or as other therapeutic targets, in the treatment of obesity. Finally, we propose an integrated model to describe the complex interplay of these hormones in the broader physiology of energy balance.

Abstract
Summary Cholecystokinin (CCK), a peptide that is distributed widely throughout the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, has a number of physiological effects including the stimulation of gallbladder contraction and pancreatic and gastric acid secretion, slowing of gastric emptying and suppression of energy intake. This review focuses on current knowledge relating to (i) the effects of CCK on energy intake; (ii) the role for CCK in the pathophysiology of obesity; and (iii) the therapeutic potential for strategies which modulate the action or secretion of CCK in the management of obesity. While CCK plays a role in the acute regulation of appetite and energy intake, there is little evidence to suggest that specific CCK receptor agonists, or modulation of the actions of endogenous CCK by dietary manipulation, have sustainable inhibitory effects on energy intake. Hence, it appears unlikely that manipulating the pathways by which CCK modulates energy intake will prove to be an effective strategy in the long term management of obesity.

Abstract
There is evidence that CCK and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) mediate the effects of nutrients on appetite and gastrointestinal function and that their interaction may be synergistic. We hypothesized that intravenous CCK-8 and GLP-1 would have synergistic effects on appetite, energy intake, and antropyloroduodenal (APD) motility. Nine healthy males (age 22 +/- 1 yr) were studied on four separate days in a double-blind, randomized fashion. Appetite and APD pressures were measured during 150-min intravenous infusions of 1) isotonic saline (control), 2) CCK-8 (1.8 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)), 3) GLP-1 (0.9 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)), or 4) both CCK-8 (1.8 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)) and GLP-1 (0.9 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)). At 120 min, energy intake at a buffet meal was quantified. CCK-8, but not GLP-1, increased fullness, decreased desire to eat and subsequent energy intake, and increased the number and amplitude of isolated pyloric pressure waves and basal pyloric pressure (P < 0.05). Both CCK-8 and GLP-1 decreased the number of antral and duodenal pressure waves (PWs) (P < 0.05), and CCK-8+GLP-1 decreased the number of duodenal PWs more than either CCK-8 or GLP-1 alone (P < 0.02). This was not the case for appetite or isolated pyloric PWs. In conclusion, at the doses evaluated, exogenously administered CCK-8 and GLP-1 had discrepant effects on appetite, energy intake, and APD pressures, and the effects of CCK-8+GLP-1, in combination, did not exceed the sum of the effects of CCK-8 and GLP-1, providing no evidence of synergism.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Long-term trials in insulin-treated subjects with type 2 diabetes have shown that adjunctive treatment with the amylin analogue pramlintide reduces HbA(1)c levels and elicits weight loss. While amylin reduces food intake in rodents, pramlintide's effect on satiety and food intake in humans has not yet been assessed. METHODS In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, 11 insulin-treated men with type 2 diabetes (age 60+/-9 years, BMI 28.9+/-4.8 kg/m(2)) and 15 non-diabetic obese men (age 41+/-21 years, BMI 34.4+/-4.5 kg/m(2)) underwent two standardised meal tests. After fasting overnight, subjects received single subcutaneous injections of either pramlintide (120 microg) or placebo, followed by a preload meal. After 1 h, subjects ate an ad libitum buffet meal. Energy intake and meal duration were measured, as were hunger ratings (using visual analogue scales), and plasma cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY concentrations over time. RESULTS Compared with placebo, pramlintide reduced energy intake in both the type 2 diabetes (Delta-202+/-64 kcal, -23+/-8%, p<0.01) and obese (Delta-170+/-68 kcal, -16+/-6%, p<0.02) groups, without affecting meal duration. Hunger and hormonal analyte profiles provided evidence that pramlintide may exert a primary satiogenic effect, independently of other anorexigenic gut peptides. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The results indicate that enhanced satiety and reduced food intake may explain the weight loss observed in long-term pramlintide trials.

Abstract
Durante o período de aleitamento, aspectos do comportamento alimentar sofrem intensa transformação. Vários estudos descrevem, do nascimento ao desmame, as modificações nas ações comportamentais necessárias para aquisição do alimento pelo neonato. O controle desse comportamento também apresenta ajustes fisiológicos através da lactação, mudando de um padrão pré-absortivo, em período precoce, para pós-absortivo, próximo ao desmame. Devido a essas transformações, esse período torna-se vulnerável a agressões ambientais que podem influenciar o estabelecimento de padrões alimentares que estarão associados a patologias na vida adulta.

Abstract
In this paper the possible roles of cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin, or gastrin-related peptides and their receptors in human gastrointestinal diseases are reviewed. For CCK/CCK(A) receptors (CCK(A)-R), the evidence for their proposed involvement in diseases caused by impaired CCK release or CCK(A)-R mutations, pancreatic disorders (acute/chronic pancreatitis), gastrointestinal motility disorders (gallbladder disease, irritable bowel syndrome), pancreatic tumor growth and satiety disorders, is briefly reviewed. The evidence that has established the involvement of gastrin/CCK(B)-R in mediating the action of hypergastrinaemic disorders, mediating hypergastrinaemic effects on the gastric mucosa (ECL hyperplasia, carcinoids, parietal cell mass), and acid-peptic diseases, is reviewed. The evidence for their possible involvement in mediating growth of gastric and pancreatic tumours and possible involvement of gastrin-related peptides in colon cancers, is reviewed briefly.

Abstract
A common complaint among pain patients is that they lose their appetite. These accounts are anecdotal, however, and the neural mechanism underlying pain-induced loss of appetite remains unknown. In this study, we documented the occurrence of appetite loss in patients under migraine attack and investigated the neuronal substrate of pain-induced anorexia in our animal model of intracranial pain. We found that loss of appetite during the migraine attack in humans coincided strongly with the onset and duration of the head pain in 32/39 cases, and that brief noxious stimulation of the dura in conscious rats produced a transient suppression of food intake. Mapping of neuronal activation in the rat showed that noxious dural stimulation induced a 3- to 4-fold increase in the number of Fos-positive neurons in medullary dorsal horn areas that process nociceptive signals (laminae I, V) and in parabrachial and hypothalamic neurons positioned to suppress feeding behavior. In the parabrachial area, activated neurons were localized in the superior-lateral subnucleus, and 40% of them expressed the mRNA encoding the anorectic neuropeptide cholecystokinin. In the hypothalamus, activated Fos-positive neurons were found in the dorsomedial area of the ventromedial nucleus, and 76% of them expressed the mRNA for cholecystokinin type-B receptor. Based on these findings, we suggest that at least one of several groups of hypothalamic neurons that normally inhibit appetite in response to metabolic cues is positioned to mediate the suppression of food intake by pain signals.

Abstract
Acute changes in the blood glucose concentration have a major reversible effect on esophageal, gastric, intestinal, gallbladder, and anorectal motility in both healthy subjects and diabetic patients. For example, gastric emptying is slower during hyperglycemia than euglycemia and accelerated during hypoglycemia. Acute hyperglycemia also affects perceptions arising from the gastrointestinal tract and may accordingly, be important in the etiology of gastrointestinal symptoms in diabetes. Elevations in blood glucose that are within the normal postprandial range also affect gastrointestinal motor and sensory function. Upper gastrointestinal motor function is a critical determinant of postprandial blood glucose concentrations by influencing the absorption of ingested nutrients. Interventions that reduce postprandial hyperglycemia, by modulating the rate of gastric emptying, have the potential to become mainstream therapies in the treatment of diabetes.
