Lessons in the interactions of hormones and ingestive behavior.
Research by Jim Gibbs and Gerry Smith from the Bourne Laboratory in the early 1970s demonstrated that peptide signals from the digestive system, especially cholecystokinin (CCK), have a profound effect on ingestive behavior. My laboratory consequently pursued a parallel course with the hormone insulin. Integrating the research on meal-generated signals, such as CCK, with adiposity-indicating signals, such as insulin, has progressed a long way, thanks in large part to suggestions and inputs from Gerry Smith along the way. This short article documents that progress.
