Use of the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin in clinical radiology. I. The gallbladder. 1978

W M Thompson, and J R Amberg

Two 30-min. infusion doses of the octapeptide of chloecystokinin (C8-CCK) (1 and 4 ng/kg/min) produced equal and consistent gallbladder contractions (75 +/- 8% mean and SEM decrease in size) in 24 human volunteers. The long 30-min infusion method of C8-CCK administration appears better than bolus injection (30 to 180 s) for cholecystokinetic cholecystography.

D002765 Cholecystography Radiography of the gallbladder after ingestion of a contrast medium. Cholecystographies
D002766 Cholecystokinin A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.
