ABSTRACT
Peripheral administration of sulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) potently reduces alcohol intake, preference, and blood levels in rats. MK-329 (L-364,718 or Devazepide) acts at peripheral cholecystokinin (CCKA) receptors to antagonize CCK-8's physiological and behavioral effects, such as pancreatic stimulation and inhibition of feeding. We determined whether CCKA receptor blockade would also prevent CCK-8's alcohol satiety effect. Water-deprived female and male rats (n = 7 for each) received randomized combinations of intraperitoneal injections of MK-329 (0, 100, 200, or 400 micrograms/kg) followed by CCK-8 (0 or 4 micrograms/kg). Rats were then given access to 5% w/v ethanol for 30 min, followed by 30-min access to water, with food ad lib. MK-329 at all doses significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the suppression of alcohol intake and food intake by CCK-8. MK-329 alone increased alcohol intake at 400 micrograms/kg, and increased food intake, in females and males at 100 and 200 micrograms/kg, respectively. We concluded that CCK-8's alcohol and food satiation effects depend on specific, peripheral CCKA receptors, and satiation of alcohol consumption and drinking-associated feeding reflect an endogenous functional interaction of CCK-8 with CCKA receptors.
