Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one the most potent orexigenic peptides found in the brain. It
stimulates food intake with a preferential effect on carbohydrate intake. It decreases latency …

The peptidic neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY) has received great attention because it
has been implicated in the regulation of several organ systems. In particular, NPY is …

From fundamental principles to advanced subspecialty procedures, Miller's Anesthesia
covers the full scope of contemporary anesthesia practice. This go-to medical reference …

Extensive animal studies suggest neuropeptide Y (NPY) to be involved in coping with a wide
range of stressors, and that impaired central NPY signalling could be involved in the …

Independent from homeostatic needs, the consumption of foods originating from
hyperpalatable diets is defined as hedonic eating. Hedonic eating can be observed in many …

Both cellular and humoral functions of the immune system are modulated by the sympathetic
nervous system (SNS). This interaction is mainly mediated by the release of catecholamines …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is best known for its effects in the brain as an orexigenic and
anxiolytic agent and in reducing energy expenditure. NPY is also co-expressed with …

In this study we wanted to evaluate the relationship between the ob gene product leptin and
blood pressure, as well as plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone levels. We studied …

Abstract NPY, PYY and PP constitute the so‐called NPY hormone family, which exert its
biological functions in humans through YRs (Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5). Systematic modulation of …

Using immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization methodologies the localization of
neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY) and two of its receptors, the Y1-and the Y2-receptor (R), has …
