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) displays diverse modes of action in the CNS including the
modulation of feeding behavior, gonadotropin releasing hormone release, and stress …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a putative neurotransmitter abundant in the brain, has recently been
shown to act within the hypothalamus, inducing a powerful eating response and a specific …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is thought to increase food intake through the action of Y1 (-like)
receptors in the hypothalamus. To confirm the involvement of Y1 receptors in feeding …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most powerful appetite stimulant known, and chronic
administration leads to obesity. The hypothalamic content of NPY varies with nutritional …

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 …

Focuses on functional aspects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) that may set it apart from many other
neurohormonal peptides that have been investigated in recent decades. NPY has been …

Obesity is a serious public health problem throughout the world, affecting both developed
societies and developing countries. The central nervous system has developed a …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) plays important roles in the central control of appetite and energy
balance, but the receptor subtype responsible for this function has not been cloned. Here we …

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 …
