We compared the effects of the two molecular forms of the brain-gut peptide YY (PYY), PYY(1-36) and PYY(3-36), on gastric emptying. Unanesthetized rats received 20-min intravenous infusions of rat PYY(1-36) (0, 1.7, 5, 17, 50, 100, 170 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and rat PYY(3-36) (0, 0.5, 1.7, 5, 17, 50, 100, 170 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)), either alone or combined, and gastric emptying of saline w...

Intraveneous (i.v.) PYY(3-36) infusions have been reported to reduce energy intake (EI) in humans, whereas few studies exist on effects of PYY(1-36). The aim of the present study was to examine effects of subcutaneous (sc) injections of PYY(1-36) and PYY(3-36) on appetite, ad libitum EI, plasma concentrations of PYY and free fatty acids (FFA) in obese males. Twenty-four males (BMI 27-40 kg/m(2)...

Peptide YY (3-36) [PYY (3-36)] is postulated to act as a hormonal signal from the gut to the brain to inhibit food intake and gastric emptying. A mixed-nutrient meal produces a prolonged 2-3 h increase in plasma levels of both PYY (3-36) and PYY (1-36). We determined the dose-dependent effects of 3-h iv infusions of PYY (3-36) and PYY (1-36) (0.5-50 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)) at dark onset on food in...

Peptide YY (PYY) is secreted postprandially from the endocrine L cells of the gastrointestinal tract. PYY(3-36), the major circulating form of the peptide, is thought to reduce food intake in humans and rodents via high-affinity binding to the autoinhibitory neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor within the arcuate nucleus. We studied the effect of early light-phase injection of PYY(3-36) on food intake...

Peptide YY (PYY) antisecretory effect on intestinal epithelia is well established, whereas less is known about its actions to influence colonic motility in conscious animals. We characterized changes in basal function and stimulated colonic motor function induced by PYY-related peptides in conscious mice. PYY(3-36), PYY, and neuropeptide Y (NPY) (8 nmol/kg) injected intraperitoneally inhibited ...

Peptide YY (PYY)(3-36) has been shown to produce dramatic reductions in energy intake (EI), but no human data exist regarding energy expenditure (EE), glucose and fat metabolism. Nothing is known regarding PYY1-36. To compare effects of PYY(1-36) and PYY(3-36) on appetite, EI, EE, insulin, glucose and free fatty acids (FFA) concentrations, 12 lean and 12 obese males participated in a blinded, r...

PYY(3-36) is a gut-derived hormone acting on hypothalamic nuclei to inhibit food intake. We recently showed that PYY(3-36) acutely reinforces insulin action on glucose disposal in mice. We aimed to evaluate effects of PYY(3-36) on energy metabolism and the impact of chronic PYY(3-36) treatment on insulin sensitivity. Mice received a single injection of PYY(3-36) or were injected once daily for ...

Peptide YY3-36 [PYY(3-36)], a gastrointestinal peptide that is released into the circulation in response to ingesting a meal, has recently been suggested to play a role in controlling food intake. PYY(3-36) has been reported to inhibit food intake following peripheral administration in rodents and in human subjects. To more fully characterize the potential feeding actions of PYY(3-36), we exami...

The mechanism and routes through which peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) exerts its anorectic effects are still largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the roles of the area postrema (AP), subfornical organ (SFO) and vagus nerve in mediating the anorectic effect of PYY using PYY(3-36) conjugated to human serum albumin (PYY(3-36)-HSA) in rats. PYY(3-36)-HSA is a large molecule that ...
