POTATO PROTEINASE INHIBITOR II EXHIBITS ACTIVITY IN ELEVATING FASTING PLASMA CHOLECYSTOKININ CONCENTRATIONS

摘要

A method of increasing fasting levels of cholecystokinin in a subject by the administration of potato proteinase inhibitor II is described. A method for extending satiety in a subject with elevated fasting cholecystokinin levels due to treatment is also described, along with a method of identifying subjects likely to respond to treatment.
