Smoking is Associated with Reduced Leptin and Neuropeptide Y Levels and Higher Pain Experience in Patients with Fibromyalgia

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2014
Smoking deregulates neuroendocrine responses to pain supporting production of neuropeptide Y (NpY) by direct stimulation of nicotinic receptors or by inhibiting adipokine leptin.

Neuropeptide Y modulates the electrical activity of subfornical organ neurons

open access: yesCurrent Research in Neurobiology
The subfornical organ (SFO) is a sensory circumventricular organ, lacking a blood-brain barrier. It is well-recognized as a key center for detection and integration of osmotic, ionic and hormonal signals for maintenance of hydromineral balance and ...

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2016
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY receptors are widely expressed in the mammalian central nervous system. Studies in both humans and rodent models revealed that brain NPY levels are altered in some neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease ...
