Y₁ and Y₂ receptors for neuropeptide Y [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1989
By using monoiodinated radioligands of both intact neuropeptide Y (NPY) and of a long C‐terminal fragment, NPY13–36, two subtypes of binding sites, which differ in affinity and specificity, have been characterized. The Y1 type of binding site, characterized on a human neuroblastoma cell line, MC‐IXC, and a rat pheochromocytoma cell line, PC‐12, binds ...

Inhibition of Y1 receptor signaling improves islet transplant outcome [PDF]

, 2017
Failure to secrete sufficient quantities of insulin is a pathological feature of type-1 and type-2 diabetes, and also reduces the success of islet cell transplantation.

The direct response of the gonads to cues of stress in a temperate songbird species is season-dependent. [PDF]

, 2013
The gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) system in the hypothalamus is often considered the final point in integration of environmental cues as they pertain to the reproductive axis.

Differential suppression of seizures via Y2 and Y5 neuropeptide Y receptors

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) prominently inhibits epileptic seizures in different animal models. The NPY receptors mediating this effect remain controversial partially due to lack of highly selective agonists and antagonists.

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

Cell 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.

Aging and aerobic fitness affect the contribution of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves to the rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating [PDF]

, 2011
Sedentary aging results in a diminished rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating. We investigated whether this diminished response was due to altered contributions of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves; assessing 1) the age-related decline and,

Neuropeptide Y is important for basal and seizure-induced precursor cell proliferation in the hippocampus

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
We have shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) regulates neurogenesis in the normal dentate gyrus (DG) via Y1 receptors (Howell, O.W., Scharfman, H.E., Herzog, H., Sundstrom, L.E., Beck-Sickinger, A. and Gray, W.P.

High-affinity neuropeptide Y receptor antagonists. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant peptide transmitters in the mammalian brain. In the periphery it is costored and coreleased with norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals. However, the physiological functions of this peptide remain unclear because of the absence of specific high-affinity receptor antagonists.

The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]

, 2015
The anterolateral tract (ALT), which originates from neurons in lamina I and the deep dorsal horn, represents a major ascending output through which nociceptive information is transmitted to brain areas involved in pain perception.
