The role of neuropeptide Y and peptide YY in the development of obesity via gut-brain axis.

Current protein and peptide science, 2019
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 and nonalcoholic fatty liver, which seriously affect human health.

Neuropeptide Y and human pancreatic polypeptide stimulate feeding behavior in rats.

Endocrinology, 1984
Observations that a pancreatic polypeptide-like substance, possibly neuropeptide Y, is present in hypothalamic areas and may coexist with catecholamines prompted evaluation of its role in controlling feeding behavior.

Neuropeptide Y, ubiquitous and elusive

Peptides, 2004
This paper reviews aspects of NPY research that were emerging in 1985, shortly after the isolation and characterization of the peptide. NPY had become known for its widespread distribution especially in the central and peripheral nervous systems, but also in the gastro-intestinal and respiratory tracts and in fibers innervating smooth muscle around ...

Metabolism and functions of neuropeptide Y

Neurochemical Research, 1996
Neuropeptide Y is one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems and its sequence is highly conserved among species. A number of key physiological roles for NPY are now emerging, especially in the control of feeding and energy homeostasis. Other physiological actions of NPY are also reviewed.

NEUROPEPTIDE Y IN PHAEOCHROMOCYTOMAS AND GANGLIONEUROBLASTOMAS

The Lancet, 1983
Tumour tissue from nineteen patients with phaeochromocytomas and nine with ganglioneuroblastomas contained large numbers of neuropeptide Y (NPY) producing cells and extracts of these tumours had very high concentrations of immunoreactive NPY. Plasma NPY concentrations were also raised, averaging 460 pmol/l in patients with tumours of the sympathetic ...

Neuropeptide Y distribution in the rat brain.

Science, 1983
A massive neuronal system was detected by immunocytochemistry and radioimmunoassay with antibodies to neuropeptide Y, the recently isolated peptide of the pancreatic polypeptide family.

Neurobehavioral profile of neuropeptide Y

Brain Research Bulletin, 1991
In order to better delineate the profile of central actions of neuropeptide Y (NPY), the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of several doses (2.5-20 micrograms) of the peptide on spontaneous activity, muscular tone, body temperature, food intake, nociception and cataleptic manifestations were examined in rats.
