This action is to provide travel fellowships and participant support costs for young American scientists to attend the 1993 International Symposium on cholecystokinin, (CCK) a peptide occurring in the brain and intestine. This meeting is to be held May 19-22, 1993 on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. New breakthroughs in this rapidly advancing area make this 1993 symposium very timely for dissemination of information and the fostering of interdisciplinary collaborations. Moreover, this symposium provides a forum for interactions of some of the most outstanding investigators from throughout the world with young American scientists. These exciting advances including the elucidation of the structure of the CCK receptor and the development of new non- peptide agonists and antagonist specific for CCK receptor subtypes will be addressed in the state-of-the-art lectures. The topics of the session include the biochemistry and molecular biology of CCK and its receptors; the pharmacology of CCK and its antagonists; and the neurophysiology and gastrointestinal physiology of CCK. Moreover, current issues on the role of CCK in satiety and disease will also be extensively explored. These and other advances will most certainly lead to a better understanding of the important role of CCK in gastrointestinal physiology and in central nervous system function.

这项行动是为参加1993年胆囊收缩素（CCK）国际研讨会的年轻美国科学家提供旅费和参加者支助费用，CCK是一种发生在大脑和肠道中的肽。这次会议将于1993年5月19日至22日在马萨诸塞州科德角举行。这一迅速发展领域的新突破使1993年的研讨会非常及时地传播信息和促进跨学科合作。此外，本次研讨会为来自世界各地的一些最杰出的研究人员与年轻的美国科学家提供了一个互动的论坛。这些令人兴奋的进展，包括CCK受体结构的阐明和CCK受体亚型特异性的新非肽激动剂和拮抗剂的开发，将在最新的讲座中进行讨论。会议的主题包括CCK及其受体的生物化学和分子生物学；CCK及其拮抗剂的药理作用；CCK的神经生理学和胃肠生理学。此外，还将广泛探讨CCK在饱腹感和疾病中的作用。这些和其他的进展肯定会使我们更好地理解CCK在胃肠道生理学和中枢神经系统功能中的重要作用。
