The role of YY3-36 peptide in the regulation of body weight in patients presenting with the exogenous constitutional form of obesity

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to measure the total YY3-36 peptide levels in blood sera obtained from the patients presenting with the exogenous constitutional form of obesity and excessive body weight. The secondary objective was to elucidate the influence of YY3-36 peptide on the process of body weight elevation. A significant rise in the serum YY3-36 peptide level was documented in those of the 327 patients included in the study who suffered grade I and II obesity (p<0,05). It was especially high in the patients with grade II obesity (p<0,05). It is concluded that the exogenous constitutional form of obesity is associated with a statistically significant elevation of blood YY3-36 peptide level in patients presenting with grade I and II obesity.
