[edit] history of the name.
The article currently states that pancreozymin (PZ) is the old name for Cholecystokinin (CCK). This is inaccurate. Pancreozymin and Cholecystokinin were discovered separately for their effects on the pancreas and gall bladder (cholecyst). It was later discovered that they were in fact the same substance, so it was renamed Pancreozymin-cholecystokinin (abbreviated to PZ-CCK). Practically, scientists shorten this to CCK.--KX36 14:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect from satiety?
I'm curious as to why satiety redirects to the CCK article; CCK is obviously an important regulator of hunger and satiety signals, but it is not the only one. Shouldn't there be an article on what causes feelings of fullness (e.g. CCK, leptin, GIP, gastric/intestinal stretching), since there's already an article on hunger?
