Re: Satietrol, CCK, Leptin

[Guest guest]

Hi Suz, Robin and All,

Yes, it seems that CR and CCK act through the same mechanism, where CR

reduces sensitivity to the CCK receptor to inhibit its action.

" These results indicate that consumption of less food than normal

affects pancreatic function by a mechanism that evidently involves CCK

release and downregulation of CCK receptors. The data suggest that CCK

plays an important physiological role in the adaptation to eating less

food, and thereby to the lowering of body weight in rats and,

possibly, in other animals.

Cheers, Al.

thing to " mess " with one's CCK levels, and another matter to " fix "

them. So another question might be: How does extended CR affect CCK

levels?

Al, Robin, Suz: Pardon my ignorance, but what is CCK?

If this substance (satietrol) works like CR because of the CCK (whatever

that is), isn't this the " pill " (I know it's not a pill, but a powder) we've

all been waiting for?

Al, any comments?
