Overexpression of the short isoform of the dopamine D2 receptor causes diet‐induced obesity and hyperglycemia in mice

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Alterations in the expression levels of D2S and D2L resulted in obesity and metabolic syndrome such as abdominal fat accumulation and hyperglycemia in D2L KO mice fed with a high‐fat diet, compared to WT mice. This may be partly due to increased food intake.

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 ...

Disrupted circadian rhythms and opioid‐mediated adverse effects: Bidirectional relationship and putative mechanisms

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies have shown a link between disrupted circadian rhythms and the development of chronic opioid‐induced negative effects. Both animal and human studies show a significant bidirectional relationship between the circadian system and opioid effects.

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.

Stress alters hypothalamic gene expression in adolescent male Golden hamsters

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), a two‐week exposure to chronic social stress in adolescence causes acceleration of agonistic behavior, enhanced adult aggression, impaired waiting impulsivity, and higher food intake, body fat, and long‐term increased body weight.

The pharmacotherapeutic potential of neuropeptide Y for chronic pain

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain is a major medical problem that requires new therapeutic options. Discovered by Victor Mutt in 1982, neuropeptide Y (NPY) is rapidly emerging as a master regulator of pain relief. Genetic knockdown of NPY or pharmacological inhibition of its receptors demonstrates that NPY signaling tonically inhibits indices of chronic ...

Development of neuropeptide Y-ergic innervation of the small intestine in rats

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2018
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) acts as a neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system, including in the metasympathetic intramural ganglia of the intestine.
