Soybean beta-Conglycinin Peptone Suppresses Food Intake and Gastric Emptying by Increasing Plasma Cholecystokinin Levels in Rats1

ABSTRACT Cholecystokinin (CCK) is an important physiologic mediator that regulates satiety and gastric emptying. We demonstrated previously that soybean peptone acts directly on rat small intestinal mucosal cells to stimulate CCK release. In the present study, we examined the effects of p-conglycinin, a...
