Background. Childhood obesity is topical global healthcare issue. The correlations between variable regions of genes encoding leptin and its receptor, ghrelin and neuropeptide Y, and the risk of obesity development in children have not been confirmed ...

Rabbit Annulus Fibrosus Cells Express Neuropeptide Y, Which Is Influenced by Mechanical and Inflammatory Stress [PDF]
Objective Rabbit annulus fibrosus (AF) cells were exposed to isolated or combined mechanical and inflammatory stress to examine the expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY).

The effect of human wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells on MC4R, NPY, and LEPR gene expression levels in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes [PDF]
Objective(s): Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulting from inflammatory destruction of islets β-cells. Nowadays, progress in cell therapy, especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proposes numerous potential remedies for T1D. We aimed to

Identification of neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptor genes in Phauda flammans (Walker)
Neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptors are crucial regulators to insect physiological processes. The 21.0 Gb bases were obtained from Illumina sequencing of two libraries representing the female and male heads of Phauda flammans (Walker) (Lepidoptera ...

Eating behviours consist of seeking and consummatory phases. Here, authors show that two distinct lateral hypothalamic leptin receptor neurons orchestrate seeking and consummatory phases of eating behaviour via hunger signal, Neuropeptide Y.

Neuropeptide Y receptors in GtoPdb v.2023.1 [PDF]
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Neuropeptide Y Receptors [158]) are activated by the endogenous peptides neuropeptide Y, neuropeptide Y-(3-36), peptide YY, PYY-(3-36) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP).

Role of Zip1 in the regulation of NPY expression by MLT to promote fracture healing in rats
Our previous study documented that melatonin (MLT) induced the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and promoted the healing of femoral fractures in rats via the neuropeptide Y (NPY)/neuropeptide Y1 receptor (NPY1R) signaling ...

Structural basis for ligand recognition of the neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor
The human neuropeptide Y receptor Y2 (Y2R) is a drug target for the treatment of obesity and anxiety. Crystal structure of Y2R bound to a selective antagonist and accompanying mutagenesis provide insights into ligand recognition and subtype specificity ...

Platelet lysate-derived neuropeptide y influences migration and angiogenesis of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells [PDF]
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,
