Cholecystokinin: From Gallbladder to Cognition and Beyond covers the biology, physiology and pathophysiological roles of cholecystokinin (CCK) peptides. It begins with a historical overview before providing in-depth chapters into the biology of CCK, from biogenesis to cell expression, including intestinal and extraintestinal endocrine cells, and the central and peripheral nervous system, and receptor function. CCK phylogenesis is explored across various species, including fish, birds, insects and amphibians. The physiology of CCK covers intestinal CCK secretion, the gallbladder and pancreas, and the role of CCK in the gut-brain axis, gastrointestinal motor function, appetite regulation, and cardiovascular function. Methods used for CCK research are also discussed. A number of chapters then covers the roles of CCK in various diseases, including metabolic diseases, tumors, psychiatric illness, the immune system and nociception, as well as potential therapeutic approaches targeting CCK receptors.

Cholecystokinin: From Gallbladder to Cognition and Beyond acts as a fundamental reference on all biological and clinical aspects of CCK. This volume is ideal for researchers interested in gaining in-depth knowledge about the physiological roles of CCK and its impact across health and disease.

Authors

Christine Feinle-Bisset Professorial Research Fellow, Adelaide Medical School, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Adelaide, Australia. Professor Christine Feinle-Bisset has a PhD in Nutrition and GI Physiology from the University of Stuttgart-Hohenheim, Germany. After gaining research experience at the University of Sheffield, UK and the University of Zurich, Switzerland, she joined the University of Adelaide in 2000, where she is currently a Professorial Research Fellow and a lead investigator in the Centre of Research Excellence in Translating Nutritional Science to Good Health. Her research is clinical and relates to the impact of nutrients on appetite, GI motor and hormone function and perception, in health, obesity and functional dyspepsia. Her work has contributed significantly to current concepts of the role of gastrointestinal mechanisms, including gut hormones and gastrointestinal motor activity, in the regulation of energy intake in health and obesity, and symptom generation in functional dyspepsia. She has published more than 220 publications, with over 15,000 citations. Jens F Rehfeld Professor, Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Professor Jens F. Rehfeld has an MD from the University of Aarhus, and later DMSc and DSc in Clinical Biochemistry from the University of Copenhagen. He became professor in Medical Biochemistry at University of Aarhus in 1975, and of Clinical Biochemistry, University of Copenhagen, in 1981. He was also administrative head of the Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, until 2010.
His main research theme is bioactive peptides (in particular gastrin, cholecystokinin, and insulin), their biosynthesis, methods for measurement, and clinical relevance. He has published approximately 1100 publications, including 650 original articles, 90 review articles, 55 textbook chapters, and 8 books, and has more than 43,000 citations.
