Abstract Temporal coordination between duodenal migrating myoelectric complexes (MMC) and pancreatic exocrine secretion, and the effects of porcine peptide YY (PYY) on gastroduodenal motility and pancreatic exocrine secretion were examined during the interdigestive period in conscious mature sheep. Fluid and enzyme secretions from the exocrine pancreas showed a periodic pattern corresponding to the phases of duodenal MMC, although these secretion rates were maintained at a high level during phase II in sheep. Intravenous continuous infusion of PYY at doses ranging from 50 to 200 pmol · kg−1 · h−1 or intravenous bolus infusion of PYY at doses ranging from 50 to 200 pmol · kg−1 showed a tendency to prolong the first cycle of the duodenal MMC and significantly shorten the second cycle. However, there was almost no effect on ruminal contractions from the PYY administration. In the pancreatic exocrine secretion, PYY could inhibit only bicarbonate secretion at only the highest dose of 200 pmol · kg−1. These results imply that endogenous PYY may play a physiological role in the regulation of the duodenal MMC cycles in sheep but not in ruminal contractions. PYY seems unlikely to regulate the pancreatic exocrine secretion in normal sheep, because a supraphysiological dose of PYY was required to inhibit the pancreatic exocrine secretion.
