title: [Cellular localization, half-life, and secretion of peptide YY].
abstract: Tissue and plasma concentration of peptide YY (PYY) were measured by means of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) developed in our laboratory, using a specific PYY antiserum generated in New Zealand white rabbits against synthetic PYY, and dextran-coated charcoal to terminate the assay. Cellular localization of PYY was studied immunohistochemically using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique. The highest tissue concentration of PYY was found in the mucosa of the terminal ileum and colon. PYY-containing secretory granules were primarily found in the basal pole of open-type endocrine cells. Basal plasma concentration of PYY was 70 +/- 9 pg/ml and rose to 357 +/- 30 pg/ml during the IV administration of PYY at 400 pmol/kg-h. A significant correlation was found (r = 0.94, p less than 0.05) between dose of PYY (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 pmol/kg-h, IV) and plasma concentration of PYY. The calculated half-life of PYY in plasma was 8.3 +/- 1.9 minutes. Plasma concentration of PYY during the intraduodenal administration of sodium oleate (150 +/- 20 pg/ml) or long-chain triglyceride (187 +/- 37 pg/ml) was similar to plasma concentration of PYY obtained during the IV administration of PYY at 100 pmol/kg-h. Plasma concentration of PYY raised (126 +/- 10 pg/ml) after the administration of bombesin (400 pmol/kg-h, IV). Bile enhanced release of PYY. The present study suggests a hormonal role for PYY.
