Peptide YY levels are decreased by fasting and elevated following caloric intake but are not regulated by leptin
2006
Aims/hypothesis
Peptide YY (PYY) is a gut-derived hormone that has been shown to reduce short-term food intake in animals and humans. It has been proposed that deficiency of PYY contributes to obesity in humans. However, the physiology of PYY regulation by factors such as caloric restriction, or by other molecules important in energy homeostasis, e.g. leptin, remains to be fully elucidated.
