The gut–brain axis refers to the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain.
Four information carriers (vagal and spinal afferent neurons, immune mediators such as …

The gut hormone peptide YY (PYY) belongs to the pancreatic polypeptide (PP) family along
with PP and neuropeptide Y (NPY). These peptides mediate their effects through the NPY …

This paper reviews the cellular localisation, mechanisms of release and intestinal absorptive
actions of neuropeptide Y and its related peptides, peptide YY, pancreatic polypeptide and …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide belonging to the pancreatic polypeptide
family of neuroendocrine hormones. It is the most abundant peptide yet discovered in the …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid peptide with structural similarities to peptide YY
(PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). NPY, one of the most abundant neuropeptides …

Neuropeptides are important mediators both within the nervous system and between
neurons and other cell types. Neuropeptides such as substance P, calcitonin gene-related …

Obesity is one of the main challenges of public health in the 21st century. Obesity can
induce a series of chronic metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension …

The present paper reviews the chemistry, distribution, and release of neuropeptide Y (NPY)
and peptide YY (PYY) and evaluates their role as neuronal and hormonal regulators in …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the related receptors represent a widely diffused system that is
involved in the regulation of multiple biological functions. NPY, a 36-aminoacid peptide …

Abstract Peptide YY (PYY), neuropeptide Y, and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) are the third
family of structurally related peptides to be extracted from the brain-gut axis. In the present …
