Sauvagine: effects on gastric acid secretion in rats.

abstract：:Cocaine- and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART) is a recently discovered anorexigenic peptide, widely expressed in the central nervous system. Included among presumed hypothalamic mediated functions of CART are inhibition of food intake, stimulation of energy expenditure and regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary a...
