Peptide YY3-36 (PYY) is a linear polypeptide consisting of 36 amino acids with structural homology to NPY and pancreatic polypeptide. Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles" are short Polymers formed from the linking in a defined order of α- Amino In Chemistry, an amino acid is a Molecule containing both Amine and Carboxyl Functional groups In Biochemistry, this Neuropeptide Y (NPY is a 36 Amino acid peptide Neurotransmitter found in the Brain and Autonomic nervous system. Pancreatic polypeptide is a Polypeptide secreted by PP cells in the Endocrine pancreas predominantly in the Head of the pancreas. PYY exerts its action through NPY receptors, inhibits gastric motility and increases water and electrolyte absorption in the colon. Neuropeptide Y receptors are a class of G-protein coupled receptors which are activated by the closely related peptide hormones Neuropeptide Y, Peptide YY An electrolyte is any substance containing free Ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium [2] PYY may also suppress pancreatic secretion. The pancreas is a Gland organ in the digestive and Endocrine system of Vertebrates. Secretion is the process of segregating elaborating and releasing chemicals from a cell, or a secreted Chemical substance or amount of substance It is secreted by the neuroendocrine cells in the ileum and colon in response to a meal, and has been shown to reduce appetite. Neuroendocrine cells are cells that receive neuronal input (neurotransmitters released by nerve cells and as a consequence of this input release message molecules (hormones to the blood In Anatomy of the Digestive system, the ileum is the final section of the Small intestine. The colon is a storage tube for solid wastes The main function of the colon appears to be extraction of Water and salts from Feces. Research has also indicated that PYY may be useful in removing aluminium (aluminum) accumulated in the brain.

Leptin also reduces appetite in response to feeding, but obese people develop a resistance to leptin. Leptin (Greek leptos meaning thin is a 16 kDa Obesity is a condition in which excess Body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may be negatively affected In contrast, obese people secrete less PYY than normal people do, and in response to added PYY, they reduce their food intake.
