Abstract
Endocrine cells containing peptide YY (PYY) were numerous in the rectum, colon and ileum and few in the duodenum and jejunum of rat, pig and man. No immunoreactive cells could be detected in the pancreas and stomach. Coexistence of PYY and glicentin was revealed by sequential staining of the same section and by staining consecutive semi-thin sections. Since the PYY sequence is not contained in the glucagon/glicentin precursor molecule the results suggest that the PYY cell in the gut expresses two different genes coding for regulatory peptides of two different families.Entities:
