Abstract

The administration of peptide YY (PYY: 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 nmol/kg/h, i. v.) to fasting rats inhibited not only baclofen (2 mg/kg, s. c.)-stimulated gastric acid output and gastric mucosal blood flow, but also pentagastrin (8 ug/kg/h, i. v.)-stimulated gastric acid output. PYY (3.2 nmol/kg/h) reduced baclofen-induced acid output more than pentagastrin-induced acid output, i. e., by 61.8 ± 11.5% compared to 35.3 ± 8.2%. PYY inhibited acetylcholine (ACh) release from cholinergic nerve endings of gastric body evoked by electrical transmural stimulation (ETS: 1 msec, 10 V, 3 Hz, 30 sec) by 47.2 ± 3.5 %. The mechanism of the inhibitory effect of PYY on gastric acid output seems to involve decreased gastric mucosal blood flow and reduced ACh release from cholinergic nerves.
