- Abstract:
- NPY, a recently discovered peptide consisting of 36 amino acids, is present in intrinsic intestinal nerves and in extrinsic noradrenergic nerves innervating intestinal blood vessels. We have investigated the influence of NPY and of the structurally related peptide YY (PYY) on the effect of PGE2-induced fluid and electrolyte secretion in the tied-off rat jejunum in vivo. Close intraarterial infusion of PGE2 (4.5-450 pmol X min-1) dose dependently reversed the net absorption of fluid, sodium and chloride into net secretion (P less than 0.01 for all three parameters). Additional i.a. infusion of NPY significantly inhibited the effect of PGE2 (45 pmol X min-1) on fluid transport at infusion rates of 0.4 and 4.0 pmol X min-1 (P less than 0.01). Infusion of 0.04 pmol X min-1 NPY was without effect. PGE2-induced sodium and chloride secretion were also significantly reduced by NPY at an infusion rate of 0.4 but not of 0.04 pmol X min-1. NPY alone was without any effect on fluid or electrolyte absorption in the controls. PYY, which is present in endocrine cells but not in nerves in the gut, was without effect at 0.4 pmol X min-1 and slightly but significantly reduced PGE2-induced fluid secretion at 4.0 pmol X min-1. It is concluded that NPY is a potent inhibitory factor in the neuronal control of intestinal fluid and electrolyte transport.
