To determine the role of cholecystokinin and the cholinergic system in intestinal stimulation of gallbladder contraction, we studied the effects of atropine on plasma cholecystokinin and gallbladder contraction in six healthy volunteers (four men and two women aged 20 to 27 yr). Effects were noted a

Cholesterol gallstone disease and obesity are common and often associated disorders that could be affected by dysfunction of the receptor for cholecystokinin (CCK). Extending earlier studies that identified a defect at the level of receptor-G protein coupling in cholesterol gallstone disease, we cha
## Abstract The echographic appearance of the wall of normal wellβfilled and contracted gallbladders was studied prospectively in 25 persons. Using grayβscale equipment, the wall of the filled gallbladder appeared as a single reflecting structure, whereas during contraction, three different compone
The regulation of cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin release in the chicken and their endogenous actions are summarized. Both dietary protein and amino acids stimulated CCK releases. Among dietary fat sources, medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) was a potent stimulator of CCK release compared with lon
