Summary

Neurotensin-like immunoreactivity (NTLI) was measured in gastric antral, pancreatic and jejuno-ileal extracts of lean and obese Zucker rats. No significant difference was found in pancreatic or antral NTLI levels, but significantly diminished levels of NTLI were found in jejuno-ileal extracts of the obese rats.
