Application | PYY (3-36) plays an important role in the regulation of appetite control. It is assumed that this effect is mediated through Y2 receptors in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), a brain area responsible for the regulation of food intake. PYY (3-36) may represent a promising tool for the treatment of obesity. |
