PYY3-36 First Suppresses Then Stimulates Appetite: A Biphasic Response Not Seen With GLP-1

PYY3-36 produced an initial appetite-suppressing effect followed by a delayed appetite-stimulating rebound in mice, unlike GLP-1 which only suppressed — explaining why PYY-based obesity drugs may have limited duration of effect.

What This Study Found

PYY3-36 injection produced biphasic appetite response: acute anorexia followed by delayed orexigenic rebound, unlike GLP-1 which showed sustained anorexia — this rebound effect may limit PYY3-36's obesity drug potential compared to GLP-1 agonists.
