title: [Cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) reverses experimental endotoxin shock].
abstract: The effects of CCK-8 on the mean arterial pressure (MAP), blood components and path-morphological changes during endotoxin shock (endotoxin, 8 mg/kg b.w.iv.) in rats, as well as on the 24 h mortality rate (MR) of the lead-sensitized rats in endotoxin shock (endotoxin 1 microgram/100 g b.w.iv.) were observed. The results showed that injection of CCK in ES rats led to an increase in MAP, and a reduction of hematocrit and platelet as well as white cell count; the mortality rate decreased and the lesion in main organs lessened. It is suggested that release of endogenous CCK has important protective action during endotoxin shock.
