The Y-receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and mediate a wide
variety of physiological effects, such as regulation of blood pressure, anxiety, memory …

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 …

Abstract Neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) belong
to the NPY hormone family and activate a class of receptors called the Y‐receptors, and also …

The 36-amino-acid peptide, neuropeptide Y (NPY), is the most abundant peptide in the rat
brain. When administered into the brain, NPY produces a variety of physiological actions …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino-acid peptide that exhibits a large number of
physiological activities in the central and peripheral nervous systems. NPY mediates its …

Small arteries, which play important roles in controlling blood flow, blood pressure, and
capillary pressure, are under nervous influence. Their innervation is predominantly …

The neuropeptide Y system has proven to be one of the most important regulators of feeding
behaviour and energy homeostasis, thus presenting great potential as a therapeutic target …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a neuropeptide highly conserved throughout evolution, is present at
high levels in the central nervous system (CNS), as well as in peripheral tissues such as the …

A classical route to development of new physiological knowledge has been recognition of
the existence of a neural or humoral agent on the basis of phenomena observed in whole …

Since the discovery of first antidepressants in mid-1950's, the field has been intensively
studied. Several new classes of compounds emerged and several hypotheses on the …
