Gastrointestinal peptides such as peptide YY (PYY) can regulate appetite, which is relevant to the study of obesity. The intraperitoneal bolus administration of PYY and a 12-amino acid PYY analogue, benzoyl-[Cha,Aib]PYY (), showed similar anorectic activity by activating the Y2 receptor (Y2R). However, food intake inhibition and body weight loss were not observed upon continuous subcutaneous administration of with osmotic pumps in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. N-Terminal elongation of , together with amino acid substitution at position 24, led to a hydrophilic 14-amino acid peptide, Ac-[d-Hyp,Cha,Aib]PYY (), that showed higher affinity and more potent agonist activity for Y2R and a robust anorectic activity with potency similar to that of PYY. In addition, the continuous subcutaneous administration of at 0.3 mg/(kg·day) induced significant body weight loss in DIO mice. These results suggest that a short-length PYY analogue can be a lead compound for antiobesity therapy in a sustained-release formulation.

Changes in insulin sensitivity and gut peptides 8 and 52 weeks after bariatric surgery or low-calorie diet.

The endocrine consequences of weight loss by bariatric surgery (BS) and caloric restriction are not fully understood but contribute to variable improvements in insulin sensitivity and cardiometabolic health. This study compared changes in insulin sensitivity and plasma concentrations of gut peptides 8 weeks and 1 year after BS and a low-calorie diet (LCD). Nineteen female patients with obesity self-selected BS (gastric bypass [n = 5] or sleeve gastrectomy [n = 7]) or LCD (n = 7) in this parallel-arm, prospective observational study.

Barley dietary fiber (BDF), particularly β-glucan, has shown potential in modulating postprandial glycemic responses and improving metabolic health. This study aimed to assess the effects of Saechalssalbori ( L.), a glutinous barley variety rich in β-glucan, on postprandial blood glucose, insulin, glucagon, triglycerides, and appetite-related hormones in healthy adults.

Obesity, a global health challenge, necessitates innovative approaches for effective management. Targeting gut peptides in the development of anti-obesity pharmaceuticals has already demonstrated significant efficacy. Ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), and amylin are crucial in appetite regulation offering promising targets for pharmacological interventions in obesity treatment using both peptide-based and small molecule-based pharmaceuticals.

Background: The differential effects of pecans versus other popular snack foods on appetite and blood markers of metabolism and satiety have not been well studied. This study investigated the effects of a single mid-morning snack of pecans or tortilla chips on subjective appetite, food intake, blood measures of hormones and metabolites, and resting energy expenditure.
Methods: Twenty participants with overweight and obesity were enrolled in a within-participants, randomized crossover trial.

Dietary restriction slows aging in many animals, while in some cases the sensory signals from diet alone are sufficient to retard or accelerate lifespan. The digestive tract is a candidate location to sense nutrients, where neuropeptides secreted by enteroendocrine cells (EEC) produce systemic signals in response to food. Here we measure how neuropeptide F (NPF) is secreted into adult circulation by enteroendocrine cells and find that specific enteroendocrine cells differentially respond to dietary sugar and yeast.
