Effect of Low vs High Eating Frequency on Perceived Appetite, Plasma Appetite Hormones, and Appetite Relationships: A Component of the Frequency of Eating and Satiety Hormones (FRESH) Study
… hormones ghrelin (pg/mL), leptin (ng/mL), and peptide-YY (pg/mL). Paired t-tests were used to measure differences between continuous self-reported and plasma biomarker variables and Fisher Z transformation tests for differences between correlations. Appetite measurements were collected with …

Folding, dynamics and interaction studies of the Neuropeptide Y family.
… advance the treatment of human disease. The Neuropeptide Y family of peptides are highly conserved peptides found in nature, consist of 36 amino acids, and are widely distributed in the central nervous system of mammals. A detailed study of thermodynamics, kinetics, membrane translocation, and …

Effects of Consuming Beans Before or With a Meal on Satiety and Gastrointestinal Hormones Concentration in Obese Men and Women
… minutes before a meal on gastrointestinal (GI) peptides concentrations in obese men and women.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A randomized crossover design was used to measure GI peptides response to two test meals in 28 healthy obese adults. Subjects consumed a standardized breakfast meal on …

The effect of circadian regulation and sleep disruption on metabolic homeostasis
… and lipid oxidation as well as ghrelin and peptide YY have circadian rhythms as identified by a constant routine protocol and 2) insufficient sleep induces skeletal muscle lipid accumulation and altered gene expression as well as impaired insulin sensitivity. Together, these studies indicate …

The role of PYY in regulating energy balance and glucose homeostasis
Peptide YY (PYY) is a gut-derived hormone that is renowned for its effects on satiety. Reduced satiety in obese people has been attributed to low fasting and postprandial PYY levels. However, it has not been determined whether low PYY levels are the cause or the outcome of obesity. Moreover, the …

Regulation of Energy Balance by Dietary Protein
… proglucagon, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, peptide YY and their cognate receptors in feline peripheral tissues and the effects of the consumption of high-protein diets on the concentrations of circulating metabolites and metabolic hormones were determined in lean, overweight and …

NESFATIN-1 AND NESFATIN-1-LIKE PEPTIDE: NUCLEOBINDIN-1/2-ENCODED INSULINOTROPIC AND ENTEROTROPIC PEPTIDES
… so far. In 2006, nesfatin-1, an 82 amino acid peptide encoded in NUCB2 was discovered. Nesfatin-1 is an anorexigenic and insulinotropic peptide found abundantly in hypothalamus, pancreas and stomach. Meal responsive insulin secretion is regulated by glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose …

Modulation of Neutrophil Functions by Neurotransmitters Implicated in Stress
… of catecholamines while plasma levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY) are significantly increased. Sympathetic nerve fibers with NPY have been found to innervate immune organs. It was hypothesized that NPY might be a mediator in immune modulation in people under chronic stress. Human neutrophils were …

Influence of Pre-meal Inulin Consumption on Energy Intake in Overweight and Obese Middle-aged and Older Adults: A Pilot Study
… of anorectic gut hormones glucagon like peptide-1 and peptide YY upon fermentation in the colon.8 Research done to date has included samples with wide age and BMI ranges, various doses of inulin, as well as different study designs. More investigations are needed in specific populations, …

Reducing crude protein levels in diets fed to young pigs to optimize growth performance and intestinal health
… Serum concentrations of total protein, albumin, peptide YY, and vitamins A and E were the lowest (P < 0.05) on d 13. Pigs fed the 16% CP diet had reduced (P < 0.05) serum albumin concentrations and tended (P < 0.10) to have reduced vitamin E concentrations compared with pigs fed the 22 or 19% CP …

Assessment of blue whiting protein hydrolysate bioactivities using cell culture models
… production of satiety hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), cholecystokinin (CCK) and peptide YY (PYY) in STC-1 cells was studied as well as the signalling pathway activated by BWSPHs to modulate the secretion of these hormones. All BWSPHs (BW-SPH-A to BW-SPH-F) (1.0%, w/v dw) increased …

The role of the free fatty acid, lauric acid, in appetite regulation and its potential as an appetite-suppressant.
… (APD) region and stimulates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion, while both C12 and C10 stimulate cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion, however, the effect of C12 was much greater. A previous study in humans has also shown that intraduodenal administration of a long-chain fatty acid, such …

Copper from copper hydroxychloride in diets for growing pigs increases feed efficiency, improves energy utilization and changes intestinal microbial activity
… also an increase (P < 0.05) in concentration of peptide YY and a reduction (P < 0.05) in TNF-α concentration on d 14 for pigs fed Cu hydroxychloride diets compared with pigs fed diets without Cu hydroxychloride. It was, therefore, concluded that Cu hydroxychloride likely improves the immune …
