What does PP stand for?

Further, this intervention may also have increased satiety by elevating postpranial levels of the satiety hormones; polypeptide YY, glucagon-like peptide-1 and pancreatic polypeptide (Martins et al.

Along with other hormones, such as pancreatic glucagon, bombesin, glucagon-like peptide-1, amide (GLP-1), oxyntomodulin, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP).

The key ingredient in the gum would be a hormone called pancreatic polypeptide (PP) which occurs naturally in the gut.

Serum chemistry tests showed mild hypergastrinemia (106 pg/ml), but the glucagon level was normal (25 pg/ml), as were the levels of pro-insulin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide.

Preston DM, Adrian TE, Christofides ND, et al: Positive correlation between symptoms and circulating motilin, pancreatic polypeptide and gastrin concentrations in functional bowel disorders.

Immunoreactivity for pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin stains was negative.
