Cholecystokinin participates in the mediation of fever.
Cholecystokinin of the central nervous system participates in the pathogenesis of lipopolysaccharide-induced fever in rats, contributing mainly to the first phase rise of this fever. The mediatory role is connected to type-B receptors of cholecystokinin.
