Cardiovascular Effects of Neuropeptide Y [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 1988 Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is present in the brain, the adrenal medulla, and peripheral sympathetic nerves. This peptide is released together with catecholamines during sympathoadrenal activation. It possesses direct vasoconstrictor properties that are not dependent on simultaneous adrenergic activation.

Platelet lysate-derived neuropeptide y influences migration and angiogenesis of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells [PDF]
, 2018 Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a powerful neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, is a key regulator of angiogenesis and biology of adipose depots. Intriguingly, its peripheral vascular and angiogenic powerful activity is strictly associated to platelets,

Coordinated RNA-Seq and peptidomics identify neuropeptides and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis, a major forestry pest [PDF]
, 2018 Hylobius abietis (Linnaeus), or large pine weevil (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is a pest of European coniferous forests. In order to gain understanding of the functional physiology of this species, we have assembled a de novo transcriptome of H. abietis,

Epilepsy Currents, 2003 It is a central tenet of the epilepsy field that seizures result from the imbalance of excitation over inhibition ( 1 ). The bulk of excitation is mediated by the neurotransmitter glutamate, whereas inhibition results mainly from the actions of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
