Peptide YY: Design a drug that will (theoretically) act on one part of the physiological pathway (e.g. production, action or termination) of your peptide and reduce food intake (i.e. a new ‘diet pill’).
Introduction Peptide and protein mediators are important physiological regulators. This exercise investigates the physiology and pharmacology of peptide mediators in feeding and satiety (feeling full). The regulation of feeding is complex and regulated by numerous different mediators that can have effects on appetite, food intake, energy expenditure, and satiety. In this exercise, you will research […]
