Peripheral peptide YY inhibits propulsive colonic motor function through Y2 receptor in conscious mice.

ABSTRACT: Peptide YY (PYY) antisecretory effect on intestinal epithelia is well established, whereas less is known about its actions to influence colonic motility in conscious animals. We characterized changes in basal function and stimulated colonic motor function induced by PYY-related peptides in conscious mice. PYY(3-36), PYY, and neuropeptide Y (NPY) (8 nmol/kg) injected intraperitoneally inhibited fecal pellet output (FPO) per hour during novel environment stress by 90%, 63%, and 57%, respectively, whereas the Y(1)-preferring agonists, [Pro(34)]PYY and [Leu(31),Pro(34)]NPY, had no effect. Corticotrophin-releasing factor 2 receptor antagonist did not alter PYY(3-36) inhibitory action. PYY and PYY(3-36) significantly reduced restraint-stimulated defecation, and PYY(3-36) inhibited high-amplitude distal colonic contractions in restrained conscious mice for 1 h, by intraluminal pressure with the use of a microtransducer. PYY suppression of intraperitoneal 5-hydroxytryptophan induced FPO and diarrhea was blocked by the Y(2) antagonist, BIIE0246, injected intraperitoneally and mimicked by PYY(3-36), but not [Leu(31),Pro(34)]NPY. PYY(3-36) also inhibited bethanechol-stimulated FPO and diarrhea. PYY(3-36) inhibited basal FPO during nocturnal feeding period and light phase in fasted/refed mice for 2-3 h, whereas the reduction of food intake lasted for only 1 h. PYY(3-36) delayed gastric emptying after fasting-refeeding by 48% and distal colonic transit time by 104%, whereas [Leu(31),Pro(34)]NPY had no effect. In the proximal and distal colon, higher Y(2) mRNA expression was detected in the mucosa than in muscle layers, and Y(2) immunoreactivity was located in nerve terminals around myenteric neurons. These data established that PYY/PYY(3-36) potently inhibits basal and stress/serotonin/cholinergic-stimulated propulsive colonic motor function in conscious mice, likely via Y(2) receptors.

Project description:Background:Executive control, the ability to regulate the execution of a goal-directed task, is an important element in an athlete's skill set. Although previous studies have shown that executive control in athletes is better than that in non-athletes, those studies were mainly confined to conscious executive control. Many recent studies have suggested that executive control can be triggered by the presentation of visual stimuli without participant's conscious awareness. However, few studies have examined unconscious executive control in sports. Thus, the present study investigated whether, similar to conscious executive control, unconscious executive control in table tennis athletes is superior to that in non-athletes. Methods:In total, 42 age-matched undergraduate students were recruited for this study; 22 nonathletic students lacking practical athletic experience comprised one group, and 20 table tennis athletes with many years of training in this sport comprised a second group. Each participant first completed an unconscious response priming task, the unconscious processing of visual-spatial information, and then completed a conscious version of this same response priming task. Results:Table tennis athletes showed a significant response priming effect, whereas non-athletes did not, when participants were unable to consciously perceive the visual-spatial priming stimuli. In addition, the number of years the table tennis athletes had trained in this sport (a measure of their motor expertise) was positively correlated with the strength of the unconscious response priming effect. However, both table tennis athletes and non-athletes showed a response priming effect when the primes were unmasked and the participants were able to consciously perceive the visual-spatial priming stimuli. Conclusion:Our results suggest that motor expertise modulates unconscious, rather than conscious, executive control and that motor expertise is positively correlated with unconscious executive control in table tennis athletes.
