The influence of intravenous peptide YY
(PYY) on the gastric injury induced by 45% ethanol was investigated in
urethane-anesthetized rats. PYY (25, 75, 125, and 250 pmol · kg
1 · h
1)
significantly reduced gastric lesions by 36, 59, 40, and 38%, respectively. Antibody against ratPYY (2 mg/rat) injected intravenously completely prevented the gastroprotective effect of intravenous PYY (75 pmol · kg
1 · h
1),
whereas injected intracisternally (460 µg/20 µl), it significantly prevented intracisternal PYY (24 pmol/rat)-induced 58% reduction of ethanol lesions but not that induced by intravenous PYY. Vagotomy did not influence the gastroprotective effect of intravenous PYY. The
Y1/"PYY-preferring" receptor agonist
[Pro34]PYY (75 pmol · kg
1 ·h
1
iv) significantly decreased ethanol-induced gastric lesions by 82%,
whereas [Leu31, Pro34]NPY, a
Y1/Y3 agonist, and
PYY-(3-36), a Y2 agonist, had no effect. These data indicate that PYY-infused intravenously at doses reported to
mimic postprandial peak blood levels prevents ethanol-induced gastric
injury through vagal independent pathways and PYY-preferring receptors.
