Roles of Neuropeptide Y in Neurodegenerative and Neuroimmune Diseases
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator that mainly exists in the nervous system. It plays a neuroprotective role in organisms and widely participates in the regulation of various physiological processes in vivo.
