| PYY

Peptide YY (PYY), also known as peptide tyrosine tyrosine.Peptide YY is a short (36-amino acid) peptide released from cells in the ileum and colon in response to feeding. In the blood, gut, and other elements of periphery, PYY acts to reduce appetite; similarly, when injected directly into the central nervous system, PYY is also anorexigenic, i.e., it reduces appetite.PYY exerts its action through NPY receptors; it inhibits gastric motility and increases water and electrolyte absorption in the colon.It is secreted by the neuroendocrine cells in the ileum and colon in response to a meal.PYY works by slowing the gastric emptying; hence, it increases efficiency of digestion and nutrient absorption after a meal.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	1000	500	250	125	62.5	31.25	15.62	0
OD	0.19	0.24	0.31	0.55	0.97	1.38	1.96	2.52

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Rat PYY spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	81-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	101
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	97-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat PYY and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	83-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-104	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	93	98	110
