The site of action of peripheral peptide YY (PYY)-induced inhibition of vagally stimulated gastric acid secretion was studied using immunoneutralization with PYY antibody in urethan-anesthetized rats. Gastric acid secretion (59 ± 7 μmol/90 min) stimulated by intracisternal injection of the stable thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analog RX-77368 (14 pmol/rat) was dose-dependently inhibited by 52%, 69%, and 83% by intravenous infusion of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 nmol · kg−1 · h−1 PYY, respectively. PYY or PYY3–36 (2.4 pmol/rat) injected intracisternally also inhibited the acid response to intracisternal RX-77368 by 73% and 80%, respectively. Intravenous pretreatment with PYY antibody (4.5 mg/rat), which shows a 35% cross-reaction with PYY3–36 by RIA, completely prevented the inhibitory effect of intravenously infused PYY (1 nmol · kg−1 · h−1). When injected intracisternally, the PYY antibody (280 μg/rat) reversed intracisternal PYY (2.4 pmol)- and intravenous PYY (1 nmol · kg−1 · h−1)-induced inhibition of acid response to intracisternal RX-77368 by 64% and 93.5%, respectively. These results provide supporting evidence that peripheral PYY inhibits central vagal stimulation of gastric acid secretion through an action in the brain.

We have very recently shown that intracisternal injection of apolipoprotein A-IV (apo A-IV), a glycoprotein produced in the small intestine by fat, dose-dependently inhibited gastric acid secretion in pylorus-ligated conscious rats. These results suggest that apo A-IV acts centrally as a neuromodulator to inhibit gastric secretion. The present study was carried out to examine the hypothesis that apo A-IV acts centrally to alter gastric emptying. Rats fasted 24 h received intracisternal injection of apo A-IV and a liquid meal by oral intubation under brief isoflurane anesthesia. Gastric emptying of a liquid meal was determined by the phenol red method. Intracisternal injection of apo A-IV inhibited gastric emptying of a liquid meal in a dose-dependent manner (1.0-4.0 micrograms). On the other hand, apo A-I in a dose of 4 micrograms failed to change gastric emptying. Gastric emptying was not altered by intraperitoneal administration of apo A-IV in a dose of 15 micrograms. These results suggest that apo A-IV acts centrally to delay gastric emptying of a liquid meal. Together with our recent finding that apo A-IV acts centrally to inhibit gastric acid secretion, the present study supports our hypothesis that apo A-IV may be involved in lipid-induced inhibition of gastric function.
