Abstract
The present review of the satiating effect of cholecystokinin in humans has revealed that cholecystokinin is a physiological satiety factor in humans. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the satiating actions of exogenous and endogenous CCK in humans. The therapeutic potential of CCK analogues c annot be estimated until further studies are performed that demonstrate the efficacy of CCK analogues for decreasing body weight, and the safety of CC K when administered repetitively for prolonged periods.
