Devazepide, the cholecystokinin (CCK) A receptor blocker, markedly and specifically affected the behavior of 10-day-old rats isolated from their mother and siblings. Whereas intraoral infusions of milk or fat, which cause CCK release, calmed infants, that is, reduced levels of ultrasonic vocalization, devazepide fully blocked this reduction. Devazepide did not affect calming caused by sucrose infusions, which do not release CCK. Moreover, devazepide did not reduce the elevated pain limen caused by milk or fat infusions. These data parallel earlier findings obtained with administration of exogenous CCK and implicate endogenous CCK in the maintenance of infant steady state and calm. The possibility that CCK contributes to the normal development of mother-infant affectional systems is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D011949 Receptors, Cholecystokinin Cell surface proteins that bind cholecystokinin (CCK) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholecystokinin receptors are activated by GASTRIN as well as by CCK-4; CCK-8; and CCK-33. Activation of these receptors evokes secretion of AMYLASE by pancreatic acinar cells, acid and PEPSIN by stomach mucosal cells, and contraction of the PYLORUS and GALLBLADDER. The role of the widespread CCK receptors in the central nervous system is not well understood.

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.

D005260 Female Females
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012934 Social Isolation The separation of individuals or groups resulting in the lack of or minimizing of social contact and/or communication. This separation may be accomplished by physical separation, by social barriers and by psychological mechanisms. In the latter, there may be interaction but no real communication.
