چکیده

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino acid peptide abundantly expressed in the brain, has been implicated in the regulation of feeding and visceral functions. The present study was designed to investigate whether or not NPY specifically regulates duodenal motility. The manometric method was used to measure duodenal motility in conscious, freely moving rats. The rat duodenum showed phasic contractions mimicking the migrating motor complex in the fasted state that were replaced by irregular contractions after the ingestion of food. NPY powerfully affected the contractile activity after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration, changing fed (postprandial) patterns into phasic contractions characterized as fasted (interdigestive) patterns. This effect was mediated via receptors with pharmacological profiles similar to rat Y(2) and Y(4) receptors, although neither Y(1) nor Y(5) agonists had any effects on motility despite potent feeding-stimulatory effects. Immunoneutralization with anti-NPY antiserum administered i.c.v. abolished fasted patterns and induced fed-like motor activities. An i.c.v. dose of peptide YY produced a different effect from NPY, with increase in the motor activities of both fed and fasted patterns. These results indicate that fasted and fed motor activities are regulated processes and that NPY induces fasted activity through Y(2), and possibly Y(4), receptors, which may represent an integrated mechanism linked to the onset of feeding behavior.

Regulation of gastroduodenal motility: acyl ghrelin, des-acyl ghrelin and obestatin and hypothalamic peptides.

Real-time measurements for gut motility in conscious rats or mice combined with intracerebroventricular or intravenous injection of peptide agonists or antagonists allow us to understand the regulatory mechanism of gastrointestinal motility. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus stimulates the fasted motility in the duodenum, while urocortin in the paraventricular nucl...

Obestatin inhibits motor activity in the antrum and duodenum in the fed state of conscious rats.

Obestatin is a novel peptide encoded by the ghrelin precursor gene; however, its effects on gastrointestinal motility remain controversial. Here we have examined the effects of obestatin on fed and fasted motor activities in the stomach and duodenum of freely moving conscious rats. We examined the effects of intravenous (IV) injection of obestatin on the percentage motor index (%MI) and phase I...

New method of manometric measurement of gastroduodenal motility in conscious mice: effects of ghrelin and Y2 depletion.

Since no previous studies have reported dual measurements of stomach and duodenal motility in conscious mice, we developed a manometric method to measure the gastroduodenal motility in the physiological fed and fasted states of conscious mice. By this method we measured, for the first time, the gastroduodenal motility in Y2 knockout mice and analyzed the effects of ghrelin on the gastroduodenal...

Intracerebroventricular neuropeptide Y stimulates bile secretion via a vagal mechanism.

UNLABELLED The effect of intracerebroventricular injection of neuropeptide Y on biliary secretion was studied in conscious dogs, prepared with gastric and duodenal fistulas and cerebroventricular guides. Bile secretion was increased in a dose-dependent fashion by intracerebroventricular neuropeptide Y. The peak increase was seen after 500 pM/kg of neuropeptide Y which resulted in a 30 x 2% incr...
