Cholecystokinin is a hormone produced in your little intestine. It plays a fundamental function in the digestive function. When fats and proteins enter your miniature intestine, cholecystokinin activates your gallbladder and pancreas to contract.
The most recognized positions of this hormone are in digestion and appetite. It enhances digestion by delaying the emptying of food from the stomach and promoting the production of bile in the liver as nicely as its departure from the gall bladder.
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the primary hormonal regulator of gallbladder compaction. However, it also includes important activities to promote pancreatic enzyme secretion, delay gastric emptying, influence satiety, and decrease food intake.
It is the patients decision or if they are under 18, the parents decision. The health care provider can give suggestions if the patient will allow them but otherwise it is their job to listen to what the patient wants.
