title: Caerulein and cholecystokinin reverse experimental hemorrhagic shock.
abstract: Intravenously injected cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) (5-20/micrograms/kg) and caerulein (1.25-10/micrograms/kg) caused a prompt, dose-dependent and sustained improvement in blood pressure, pulse amplitude and survival in rats subjected to otherwise invariably fatal hemorrhagic shock.
