OBJECTIVE Recently peptide YY (PYY) has attracted interest as a possible regulator of food intake. Release of PYY by nutrients in the distal small intestine is thought to contribute to the so-called ileal brake by inhibiting motility and secretion in the foregut. Our objective was to establish whether plasma concentrations of the gut peptides PYY and glucagon-like peptide-1 in rats and humans change in response to intake of a non-absorbable but fermentable carbohydrate. METHODS The acute… CONTINUE READING
