NPY and Gene Therapy for Epilepsy: How, When,... and Y

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neuropeptide abundantly expressed in the mammalian central and peripheral nervous system. NPY is a pleiotropic molecule, which influences cell proliferation, cardiovascular and metabolic function, pain and neuronal excitability.

The effect of insulin receptor deletion in neuropeptide Y neurons on hippocampal dependent cognitive function in aging mice [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
Insulin is known to act in the central nervous system to regulate several physiological and behavioural outcomes, including energy balance, glucose homeostasis and cognitive functioning. However, the neuronal populations through which insulin enhances

Interaction of central kisspeptin with melanocortin, GABAergic, corticotrophin, and NPY systems on food intake in chickens [PDF]

The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2022
Kisspeptin is a key component of reproduction that can directly affect food intake in mammals. There is evidence suggesting that melanocortin, GABA, corticotrophin, and neuropeptide Y (NPY), have a mediatory role in reward; however, how these substances ...

Receptor-specific recognition of NPY peptides revealed by structures of NPY receptors

Science Advances, 2022
In response to three highly conserved neuropeptides, neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY, and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), four G protein–coupled receptors mediate multiple essential physiological processes, such as food intake, vasoconstriction, sedation ...

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of npy Gene and Its Response to Starvation-Refeeding Strategy in Seriola aureovittata

Progress in Fishery Sciences, 2023
Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola aureovittata), a pelagic marine finfish species with a worldwide distribution, is regarded as an emerging candidate for the aquaculture industry owing to its fast growth, superior flesh quality, and farming suitability in ...

Light conditions during Atlantic salmon embryogenesis affect key neuropeptides in the melanocortin system during transition from endogenous to exogenous feeding

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
During the first feeding period, fish will adapt to exogenous feeding as their endogenous source of nutrients is depleted. This requires the development of a functional physiological system to control active search for food, appetite, and food intake ...

Response of appetite-related genes in relation to the rearing water temperature in red spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara)

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2020
Growth of fish is controlled by various environmental factors, including water temperature (WT). WT is also a major factor that affects the eating behavior of fish. In this study, we studied the relationship between WT and expression profiles

NPY mediates the rapid feeding and glucose metabolism regulatory functions of AgRP neurons

Nature Communications, 2020
Activation of Agouti-Related Peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons promotes feeding and insulin resistance. Here, we examine the contribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-dependent signaling to the diverse physiological consequences of activating AgRP neurons ...
