“…In rats, endocrine forms suggested from chromatography of plasma samples and assay of fractions collected have varied from laboratory to laboratory. The major forms reported were CCK-8 (28), CCK-22 (16,34), CCK-33/39 (35,47), and CCK-58 (42,46). An important observation is that endocrine forms smaller than CCK-58 can be produced ex vivo during the processing of plasma samples.…”
