Effects of Nifedipine on Renal and Cardiovascular Responses to Neuropeptide Y in Anesthetized Rats

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) acts via multiple receptor subtypes termed Y1, Y2 and Y5. While Y1 receptor-mediated effects, e.g., in the vasculature, are often sensitive to inhibitors of L-type Ca2+ channels such as nifedipine, little is known about the role of ...

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

Combined gene overexpression of neuropeptide Y and its receptor Y5 in the hippocampus suppresses seizures

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2012
We recently demonstrated that recombinant adeno-associated viral vector-induced hippocampal overexpression of neuropeptide Y receptor, Y2, exerts a seizure-suppressant effect in kindling and kainate-induced models of epilepsy in rats.

Elevated Neuropeptide Y in Endothelial Dysfunction Promotes Macrophage Infiltration and Smooth Muscle Foam Cell Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Endothelial dysfunction has been linked to vascular inflammation and foam cell formation but the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. We sought to define the factors inducing inflammation and smooth muscle foam cell formation under endothelial ...

Neuropeptide Y receptors in a protozoaStylonychia mytilus

open access: yesChinese Science Bulletin, 1998
Radio ligand binding assays(RLBA) were used to study neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors in a protozoaStylonychia mytilus. The experimental results showed that 2–3 × 103/mLStylonychia cells incubated in Pringsheim solution which contained3H-NPY could specifically bind3H-NPY and concoraitantly present saturable characteristic.

Nano‐Anesthetics Regulate Neuro‐Immune Interaction for Treating Neuropathic Pain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ce‐UiO‐66‐Bupivacaine (CUB) demonstrates triple therapeutic innovation: 1) Sustained analgesia with ROS scavenging synergistically resolves neuropathic pain; 2) Microglia/astrocyte polarization switch reprograms the pro‐regenerative immune microenvironment; 3) CGRP‐TSP‐1 axis activation couples inflammation suppression to axon regeneration, defining a ...

Pharmacological and functional similarities of the human neuropeptide Y system in C. elegans challenges phylogenetic views on the FLP/NPR system

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background The neuropeptide Y system affects various processes, among others food intake, and is frequently discussed in the context of targeting obesity. Studies in model organisms are indispensable to enable molecular studies in a physiological context.

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Neuropeptide Y receptor genes are associated with alcohol dependence, alcohol withdrawal phenotypes, and cocaine dependence.

open access: yesAlcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2008
BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence in both human and animal studies suggest that variation in neuropeptide Y (NPY) or its receptor genes (NPY1R, NPY2R and NPY5R) is associated with alcohol dependence as well as alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
