Neuropeptide Y receptor in the rat brain [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1984 The specific binding of the chloramine-T iodinated neuropeptide Y (125I-NPY) to membranes from rat cerebral cortex was investigated using equilibrium binding and kinetic methods. The equilibrium binding of 125I-NPY at 37 degrees C was characterized by a Kd value of 0.38 nM. The receptor densities in the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and cerebellum were

Identification of neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptor genes in Phauda flammans (Walker)
Scientific Reports, 2022 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 ...

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 ...

Role of neurotrophins and neuropeptides in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) : a model for human generalized absence seizures [PDF]
, 2010 Several studies have shown that neurotrophins and neuropeptides contribute to epileptogenesis but their impact on idiopathic generalized epilepsies is not yet elucidated.

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 ...

Structure and function of sea urchin neuropeptides [PDF]
, 2010 PhDThe subject of this thesis is the identification and functional characterization of sea urchin neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are important mediators of neural signalling in all known animals with a nervous system, including bilaterians, ctenophorans ...

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.

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 ...
