The C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK) was injected into water-deprived rats to observe the effect on water and milk intake. The doses used were 0, 20, and 40 Ivy dog units/kg. The data indicated that milk intake was suppressed in a dose-related fashion within 2-4 min of injection but water intake was not suppressed. This satiety hormone is thus specific to food intake.
