Abstract
Introduction: The pancreatic polypeptide (PP) family consists of three closely related polypeptides: neuropeptide Y (NPY), PP and peptide YY (PYY). Despite many structural similarities, PP family members have differing biological effects at various levels of the gastrointestinal tract and nervous system. This study investigates the physiological response of the PP family and its fragments using microliquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to firstly, an endoscopic luminal lipid bolus as well as secondly, to a three-day low-carbohydrate high-fat diet (LCHFD) in sedated individuals. Methods: Ten (seven female and three male) healthy, lean volunteers, with a mean age of 26 (sd = 4.4) years and body mass index of 21.2 kg/m2 (sd = 1.4 kg/m2) underwent an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, during which a standardised oleic and linoleic acid emulsion was placed in the gastric antrum (30 mL) and the post-pyloric duodenal bulb (30 mL). Plasma samples were collected after overnight fasting and 10, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after an endoscopic luminal lipid bolus. The procedure was repeated after a three-day isocaloric LCHFD. Results: All PP family members displayed a significant increase in response to an endoscopic luminal lipid bolus. Additionally, three days of the LCHFD significantly increase the fasting concentrations of native NPY, PP and their enzymatic cleaved fragments but not PYY. Conclusion: It seems possible that short-term LCHFD within three days can modulate appetite regulation via NPY and/or PP. Thus, it is tempting to speculate that such a short-term diet manoeuvre could already influence appetite regulation via entero-hormonal signalling.
