Peripherally injected cholecystokinin-induced neuronal activation is modified by dietary composition in mice by Zeeni, N.

“…When comparing diet effects, while the HF diet did not induce any change in activity, reductions in MEMRI-associated signal were found in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) when comparing the HP to the HC diet. In addition, a significant interaction was found between CCK administration and the HF diet, shown by an increased activation in the PVN, which suggests a decrease the inhibiting action of CCK. …”
