The relationship between the chicken plasma gastrin concentration and feeding behavior was investigated in chicks. Plasma gastrin levels were enhanced by the H+/K+ ATPase inhibitor, omeprazole. As plasma gastrin concentration increased, the food intake was decreased linearly. Data obtained here suggest that gastrin could be a satiety hormone in the pharmacological concentration but not in the physiological concentration range.
