Abstract
Serial changes in the levels of cholecystokinin (CCK)-A receptor mRNA in the pancreas after pancreatic duct occlusion were examined in rats. CCK-A receptor mRNA level was determined by Northern blot analysis with a rat CCK-A-receptor cDNA probe. The level of CCK-A receptor mRNA first decreased, reaching the lowest level 7 days after occlusion, and then began to increase. On day 14, it had completely recovered to the control level and it remained at that level until 28 days after occlusion.
