Recent findings suggest that low plasma peptide YY (PYY) levels may contribute to diet-induced human obesity and justify PYY replacement therapy. Although the pharmacological value of PYY is controversial, further study of the secretion of the precursor PYY(1-36) and the pharmacologically active PYY(3-36) is indicated to determine the potential role in energy balance regulation.
