There is growing evidence from rodent studies that supports the role of oxyntomodulin and PYY as satiety signals that are involved in the physiological control of appetite and body weight. A schematic ...
The beneficial effects of metformin treatment in women with type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are, in part, attributable to weight reduction, possibly caused by altered levels of ...
The gut hormone peptide YY 3-36 [PYY (3-36)] has been suggested to posses anorexigenic actions in animals and human adults. However, its circulating concentrations and function have not been studied ...
Peptide YY (PYY), a hormone produced by gut endocrine cells that was already known to control appetite, also plays an important role in maintaining the balance of fungi in the digestive system of ...
When it was first discovered, scientists dubbed peptide YY3-36 (PYY) the fullness hormone. That’s because PYY–a protein produced by the gut–functions as a powerful appetite suppressant, at least in ...
Oxyntomodulin and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) are released from intestinal enteroendocrine cells in response to a meal. These circulating hormones are considered to be satiety signals, as they ...
