Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone which controls a number of important functions during the process of digestion. It is present in the gut and the central nervous system, although its exact role in the latter is not yet clear. Our interest was in the effects of intraperitoneal and intracerebral injections of CCK on brain stimulation reward and stimulation-induced feeding. Period thresholds for rewarding stimulation were unaffected by either route of peptide administration, whereas stimulation-induced feeding thresholds were weakly increased by centrally injected CCK. In addition, we evaluated stimulation-induced feeding using a more resolved measure and found it to provide clearer results. By actually measuring the amount of food eaten during a stimulation-induced feeding session, and not only the occurrence of feeding, CCK was shown to systematically decrease the total intake as a function of dose in an inverse manner. The efficiency of food utilization was calculated for each animal during the different phases of the experiment in order to monitor the effects of CCK on the animals' overall health. Centrally administered CCK appeared to increase the animals' efficiency and, furthermore, this level was sustained for the entire post-injection phase, about 2 weeks, suggesting a relatively enduring increase in metabolic rate. While the functional role of central CCK and other gastric peptides requires clarification, analyses which exploit the stimulation-induced feeding paradigm need to make use of more clearly defined microstructural variables. |
