Degradation of the Anorexic Hormone Peptide YY

Early Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Registration Number
NCT02493959
Lead Sponsor
Hvidovre University Hospital
Brief Summary

Peptide YY (PYY) is a gastrointestinal hormone released from the enteroendocrine cell upon food intake. The N-terminal truncated form, PYY3-36, exerts anorexic effects. In this study we want to investigate the kinetics of PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 and to examine whether a C-terminally degraded metabolite, PYY3-34, is formed after infusion of PYY.
