Peptide YY (PYY) is a recently discovered polypeptide found in the endocrine cells of the distal small intestine, colon, and rectum. This study was designed to evaluate the postprandial release of PYY into the peripheral blood and the ileal lumen in response to different ingested nutrients. Six adult conditioned mongrel dogs had 25-cm distal ileal Thiry-Vella segments surgically constructed. After a 2-week postoperative recovery period the animals were fed meals consisting of protein (2 g/kg), fat (5 g/kg), or glucose (1.5 g/kg). Circulating and ileal intraluminal PYY concentrations were measured by a sensitive radioimmunoassay developed in our laboratory. Significant increases in circulating PYY levels were seen only after the fat meal in dogs. Ileal intraluminal PYY concentrations were significantly greater than those concentrations seen in the peripheral blood. A significant rise in ileal intraluminal PYY was seen only after the glucose meal without concomitant changes in circulating PYY. These findings document independent release mechanisms of PYY into the circulation and ileal lumen of the awake dog. We believe that the release of PYY into the canine circulation and into the ileal lumen after feeding may be dependent on the type of nutrient ingested and may serve to regulate the diverse physiologic roles of PYY in the gastrointestinal tract.
