To investigate the effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on sympathetic nerve activity to
interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT), we injected NPY into the third cerebroventricle …

Chronic intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of neuropeptide-Y (NPY; 10
micrograms/day) was performed in normal female rats to investigate its hormonal and …

Intracerebroventricular injection of neuropeptide Y (NPY) has two effects on energy
metabolism in addition to increased feeding: decreased brown fat thermogenesis and …

It has been proposed that there is a reciprocal relationship between food intake and
sympathetic activity. To test this hypothesis corticotropin releasing hormone, which …

Our objective was to find out if central injection of neuropeptide Y (NPY) would alter brown
fat thermogenesis and white fat lipoprotein lipase activity. The following three groups of …

NPY is an important central orexigenic hormone, but little is known about its peripheral
actions in human adipose tissue (AT) or its potential paracrine effects. Our objective was to …

NPY is synthesized in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), and NPY injected into the
paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the main site of NPY release, induces hyperphagia and …

Excessive secretion of triglyceride-rich very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL-TG) contributes
to diabetic dyslipidemia. Earlier studies have indicated a possible role for the hypothalamus …

The aim of this work was to determine the possible inter-relationship between neuropeptide
Y (NPY, a hypothalamic stimulator of feeding) and adipose tissue expression of the ob …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the hypothalamus plays an important role in the regulation of food
intake and body weight and seems to be implicated in the etiology of obesity. When …
