The need for additional structural information is emphasized for a more thorough and diverse taxonomic investigation within the vertebrate lineage, and for specification of those genetic elements which ultimately determine evolutionary opportunities for peptide evolution.
Presence of caerulein in extracts of the skin of Leptodactylus pentadactylus labyrinthicus and of Xenopus laevis
- BiologyBritish journal of pharmacology

It is suggested that caerulein and caerulesin‐like polypeptides may have some function either in the regulation of secretory processes of the skin or in the exchange of water and electrolytes through the skin, or in both.
Oxytocin secretion in response to cholecystokinin and food: differentiation of nausea from satiety.
- Biology, PsychologyScience
- 1986
After administration of large doses of CCK, vagally mediated activation of central nausea pathways seems to be predominantly responsible for the subsequent decrease in food intake, suggesting both nausea and satiety may activate a common hypothalamic oxytocinergic pathway that controls the inhibition of ingestion.

The vomeronasal (VN) organ is a chemoreceptive structure situated at the base of the nasal septum of most terrestrial vertebrates and has different roles in the execution of several species-typical behaviors that depend on reception of chemo signals emitted by conspecifics or prey.
