Abstract
Background: Cholecystokinin (CCK)-1 receptor ligands control satiety. Normal intake behaviors in the receptor gene knock-out mice, however, raise questions for CCK-mediated satiety control. Results: CCK-1 receptor gene knock-out facilitated CCK-2 receptor signaling in the posterior paraventricular nucleus and switched receptor subtypes responsible for satiety control. Conclusion: Synergic interaction between CCK-1 and -2 receptors guarantees regular intakes. Significance: Compensatory receptor functions shed light on CCK-mediated satiety controlling mechanism.
