Chronic renal insufficiency is a situation characterized by high plasma concentration of
neuropeptide Y (NPY). Because this neuropeptide interferes with cardiovascular (CV) …

Background: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a multifaceted sympathetic neurotransmitter
regulating reflex cardiovascular control, myocardial cell growth, inflammation and innate …

ABSTRACT Background Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a sympathetic neurotransmitter that has
been implicated in various disorders including obesity, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a peptide hormone that is expressed, stored, and released in
sympathetic neurones together with noradrenaline. Elevated plasma concentrations of NPY …

Hypertension often occurs with fluid overload. The most common mechanism is considered
to be mediated by increased cardiac output. Hemodialysis (HD) patients frequently have …

Abstract Aims Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most abundant neuropeptide found in the heart
and is released alongside norepinephrine following prolonged sympathetic activation, a …

To investigate the clinical usefulness of radio-immunoassay of neuropeptide Y (NPY), we
measured plasma immunoreactive neuropeptide Y (IR-NPY) concentrations in normal …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino-acid peptide member of a family also including peptide
YY and pancreatic polypeptide, which are all ligands to Gi/Go coupled receptors. NPY …

Objective Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is released during sympathetic stimulation and mediates
the central effects of the adipostatic hormone leptin. The plasma concentration of NPY and …

Increased plasma levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity (p-NPY-LI) have
been described in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this investigation the effect of a standard …
