Detailed explanation-1: -pancreatic polypeptide, peptide secreted by the F (or PP) cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Pancreatic polypeptide contains 36 amino acids. Its secretion is stimulated by eating, exercising, and fasting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Islets largely (up to 70%) consist of B cells which secrete the hormone insulin and are located centrally within the islet. In comparison, F cells constitute approximately 15% of islet cell mass and secrete the hormone pancreatic polypeptide (PP).
Detailed explanation-3: -Pancreatic polypeptide is secreted together with insulin, the glucose-lowering hormone produced by the pancreas [2]. The pancreas quickly releases pancreatic polypeptide after a meal and its levels remain elevated for 4 to 6 hours. Its secretion is stimulated most strongly by eating protein and fat [3].
