Abstract
The novel compound which is the reverse amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring peptide will elicit an immune response when introduced into an organism. Antibodies raised to this reverse compound act as antagonist to the naturally occurring peptide thereby mimicking the natural peptide's physiological effect on the organism's system. Precisely, antibodies specific to reverse choleocystokinin elicit the same response in avians and mammals as naturally occurring choleocystokinin, that being an increase in satiety and a decrease in food consumption.
