Modulation of neuropeptide Y levels is impaired in crack withdrawal patients
Introduction The dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has a key role in drug addiction susceptibility. In addition to the well-known relationship between cortisol and the HPA axis, other molecules are involved with stress ...

Neuropeptide Y knockout mice reveal a central role of NPY in the coordination of bone mass to body weight. [PDF]
Changes in whole body energy levels are closely linked to alterations in body weight and bone mass. Here, we show that hypothalamic signals contribute to the regulation of bone mass in a manner consistent with the central perception of energy status ...

The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]
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.

Lines of evidence suggest that hypothalamic neuropeptides have a physiological role in the regulation of food intake in mammals. However, little is known about the age-dependent change of hypothalamic neuropeptides in chicks.

Lack of Spinal Neuropeptide Y Is Involved in Mechanical Itch in Aged Mice
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) signaling plays an essential role in gating the pruritic afferent information in the spinal cord. Recent studies revealed that the aging process down-regulated the expression of NPY in the central nervous system.

Porcine neuropeptide Y (pNPY) administered into the third ventricle of the brain is known to elicit a powerful feeding response in steroid-treated ovariectomized and intact male rats. The present study compared the effects of pNPY and 3 structurally related peptides, human NPY (hNPY), an analog of NPY (NPY-A, [norLeu4]NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) on ...

Background The complex regulatory mechanism involved in ovarian follicular development is not completely understood. Neuronal neuropeptide Y (NPY) is involved in the regulation of feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and reproduction behavior, while its

Hypothalamic melanortin receptor (MCR) activation inhibits appetite. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Agouti Related Protein (AgRP) are coexpressed in some hypothalamic neurons and stimulate feeding, NPY via inhibition of MCR-expressing neurons, and AgRP via ...

Intranasal neuropeptide Y1 receptor antagonism improves motor deficits in symptomatic SOD1 ALS mice
Objective Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide widely considered to provide neuroprotection in a range of neurodegenerative diseases. In the fatal motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), recent evidence supports a link ...
