[Target]

Y2 receptor[1]

[In Vitro]

Peptide YY (PYY) (3-36), human is a Y2 receptor agonist, generated via cleaving the first two amino acids at the N terminus of PYY1-36 by enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV), and can reduces food intake[1].

[In Vivo]

In mice, actinonin significantly prolongs the anorectic effect of PYY3-36 (50 nmol/kg) and maintains higher PYY3-36 plasma levels than treatment with PYY3-36 alone[1].

[Animal admin]

Mice[1] Mice are divided into four treatment groups and administered an injection (maximum volume, 100 μL, sc) of either: 1) saline (n = 10), 2) phosphoramidon (10 mg/kg) (n = 10), 3) PYY3-36 (50 nmol/kg) (n = 10), or 4) PYY3-36 (50 nmol/kg) and phosphoramidon (10 mg/kg) (n = 10). This dose of phosphoramidon inhibits NEP activity for 4 h. Body weight is measured at 0 and 24 h after injection. Food intake is measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 24 h after injection[1].
