Obesity is one of the main challenges of public health in the 21st century. Obesity can induce a series of chronic metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension and nonalcoholic fatty liver, which seriously affect human health. Gut-brain axis, the two-direction pathway formed between enteric nervous system and central nervous system, plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of obesity. Gastrointestinal signals are projected through the gut-brain axis to nervous system, and respond to various gastrointestinal stimulation. The central nervous system regulates visceral activity through the gut-brain axis. Brain-gut peptides have important regulatory roles in the gut-brain axis. The brain-gut peptides of the gastrointestinal system and the nervous system regulate the gastrointestinal movement, feeling, secretion, absorption and other complex functions through endocrine, neurosecretion and paracrine to secrete peptides. Both neuropeptide Y and peptide YY belong to the pancreatic polypeptide family and are important brain-gut peptides. Neuropeptide Y and peptide YY have functions that are closely related to appetite regulation and obesity formation. This review describes the role of the gutbrain axis in regulating appetite and maintaining energy balance, and the functions of brain-gut peptides neuropeptide Y and peptide YY in obesity. The relationship between NPY and PYY and the interaction between the NPY-PYY signaling with the gut microbiota are also described in this review.

Feeding and energy expenditures are modulated by the interplay of hormones and neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS), where the hypothalamus plays a pivotal role in the transduction of peripheral afferents into satiety and feeding signals. Aminergic neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) are historically considered to play a key role, but a number of peptides are involved in finely tuning feeding regulation. This review summarizes the current understanding of the CNS mechanisms of orexigenic peptides, such as neuropeptide Y, orexins, and ghrelin, as well as anorectic peptides, such as leptin, neurotensin (NT), cocaine- and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART) peptide, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), urocortin, amylin.

Leptin inhibits feeding and decreases body weight. It may act partly by inhibiting hypothalamic neurons that express neuropeptide Y, a powerful inducer of feeding and obesity. These neuropeptide Y neurons express the Ob-Rb leptin receptor and are overactive in the fatty (fa/fa) Zucker rat. The fa mutation affects the extracellular domain of the leptin receptor, but its impact on leptin action and neuropeptide Y neuronal activity is not fully known. We compared the effects of three doses of leptin given intracerebroventricularly and three doses of leptin injected intraperitoneally on food intake and hypothalamic neuropeptide Y mRNA, in lean and fatty Zucker rats. In lean rats, 4-h food intake was reduced in a dose-related fashion (P< 0.01) by all intracerebroventricular leptin doses and by intraperitoneal doses of 300 and 600 μg/kg. Neuropeptide Y mRNA levels were reduced by 28% and 21% after the highest intracerebroventricular and intraperitoneal doses respectively (P< 0.01 for both). In fatty rats, only the highest intracerebroventricular leptin dose reduced food intake (by 22%; P< 0.01). Neuropeptide Y mRNA levels were 100% higher in fatty rats than in lean animals, and were reduced by 18% (P< 0.01) after the highest intracerebroventricular leptin dose. Intraperitoneal injection had no effect on food intake and neuropeptide Y mRNA. The fa/fa Zucker rat is therefore less sensitive to leptin given intracerebroventricularly and particularly intraperitoneally, suggesting that the fa mutation interferes both with leptin's direct effects on neurons and its transport into the central nervous system. Obesity in the fa/fa Zucker rat may be partly due to the inability of leptin to inhibit hypothalamic neuropeptide Y neurons.

1. Neuropeptide Y is a potent appetite stimulant and has been found to modulate glucose metabolism when given chronically. The acute effects of neuropeptide on peripheral glucose handling have not been studied in detail. We have studied the acute effects of central nervous system injection of neuropeptide on glucose metabolism in vivo in the rat. 2. Rats implanted with chronic cannulae in the third cerebral ventricle were injected with either neuropeptide Y or saline and peripheral insulin sensitivity was assessed during a hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp. The effect of centrally injected neuropeptide Y on post-absorptive glucose metabolism was studied using a constant infusion of [6-3H]glucose. 3. Infusion of neuropeptide Y resulted in a 18% increase in glucose requirement during the clamp, suggesting increased peripheral tissue responsiveness to insulin. Neuropeptide Y injection in 10 h fasted rats increased plasma glucose (area under curve 9.9 ± 0.2 versus 9.1 ± 0.1 mmol h−1 I−1, P < 0.01), insulin (103 ± 23 versus 33 ± 8 pmol/l, P < 0.01, at 30 min) and glucagon (5.5 ± 0.5 versus 3.1 ± 0.3 pmol/l, P < 0.05, at 30 min). The increase in plasma glucose was due to an initial increase in the rate of appearance, which peaked between 20 and 30 min after neuropeptide Y infusion; over the entire 90 min 16% more glucose entered the systemic circulation in the neuropeptide Y-treated rats than in control rats, and the total quantity of glucose removed was also greater. 4. Neuropeptide Y in the central nervous system influences glucose metabolism by altering secretion of islet hormones, hepatic glucose production and the peripheral response to insulin.
