these data suggest that cck may not only initiate satiety messages , as a circulating hormone at peripheral sites , but also participate in the conduction of such information to the target in the brain by serving as a neurotransmitter in the lateral medulla ( e.g . nts ) , medial pontine area ( e.g . relay station between the nts and hypothalamus ) and the lateral hypothalamus , where local release of cck-8 after stomach loading has been observed .
