title: Effects of intraventricular administration of cholecystokinin octapeptide sulfate ester and unsulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide on active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour of rats.
abstract: The effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide sulfate ester (CCK-8-SE) and unsulfated cholecystokinin (CCK-8-NS) were studied following intraventricular administration on active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour of rats. In the CCK-8-NS and CCK-8-SE treated animals the acquisition of active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour were considerably impaired compared to the control; furthermore, these peptides caused a facilitated extinction of active avoidance and conditioned feeding behaviour. The data suggest that cholecystokinin octapeptide is capable of modifying the fear and hunger motivated behaviours of rats.
