Peptide YY regulates bone remodeling in mice: a link between gut and skeletal biology.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Gastrointestinal peptides are increasingly being linked to processes controlling the maintenance of bone mass. Peptide YY (PYY), a gut-derived satiety peptide of the neuropeptide Y family, is upregulated in some states that also display low bone mass. Importantly, PYY has high...
