Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the specific peptide PYY_3-36 is not a known hormone or neurotransmitter related to thirst or energy storage, and its acronym does not suggest any specific function, we cannot reliably predict its effects on thirst or fat storage. However, studies have shown that injecting this peptide into rats does lead to a decrease in food intake, suggesting that it may have appetite-suppressing properties. Therefore, choice B, "eat less," is the best answer.
