The Role of NPY in the Regulation of Bone Metabolism
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Bone diseases are the leading causes of disability and severely compromised quality of life. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a multifunctional neuropeptide that participates in various physiological and pathological processes and exists in both the nerve system ...

CAPA neuropeptides and their receptor form an anti-diuretic hormone signalling system in the human disease vector, Aedes aegypti [PDF]
, 2020 Insect CAPA neuropeptides are homologs of mammalian neuromedin U and are known to influence ion and water balance by regulating the activity of the Malpighian ‘renal’ tubules (MTs).

Characterization of vascular neuropeptide Y receptors [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1992 In the present study we compared neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY‐related analogues for their ability to activate or bind to vascular NPY receptors in four experimental set‐ups. Previous results have suggested the existence of different receptor subtypes, Y1 receptors requiring full‐length NPY (1–36) or [Pro34]‐NPY, and Y2 receptors recognizing also N ...

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Sex Differences in the Neuropeptide Y System and Implications for Stress Related Disorders
Biomolecules, 2020 The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system is emerging as a promising therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric disorders by intranasal delivery to the brain. However, the vast majority of underlying research has been performed with males despite females being twice ...

Protective effects of urocortin 2 against caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. [PDF]
, 2019 Because little is known about the role of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) agonists in regulating responses in pancreatitis, we evaluated the effects of urocortin 2 (UCN2) and stressin1 in caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) model in rats. Male

Antisense mRNA for NPY-Y1 receptor in the medial preoptic area increases prolactin secretion
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 We investigated the participation of neuropeptide Y-Y1 receptors within the medial preoptic area in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and prolactin release.

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

Regulation of neurosteroid biosynthesis by neurotransmitters and neuropeptides
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 The enzymatic pathways leading to the synthesis of bioactive steroids in the brain are now almost completely elucidated in various groups of vertebrates and, during the last decade, the neuronal mechanisms involved in the regulation of neurosteroid ...
