Therapeutic potential of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor ligands [PDF]
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is widely distributed in the human body and contributes to a vast number of physiological processes. Since its discovery, NPY has been implicated in metabolic regulation and, although interest in its role in central mechanisms related to food intake and obesity has somewhat diminished, the topic remains a strong focus of research ...

Objective Tofersen is the first effective and approved therapy for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)‐associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS [SOD1‐ALS]). Following treatment with tofersen, neurofilament levels in patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum seem to respond earlier than clinical parameters.

Differential suppression of seizures via Y2 and Y5 neuropeptide Y receptors
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.

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.

Effects of neuropeptide Y on electrical activity and myocardial contractility
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agonist Leu(31)Pro(34)NPY were used to determine the type of NPY receptors involved in electrical activity and myocardial contraction.

The increased proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important roles in pathophysiological remodeling of arteries during hypertension in pregnancy. However, the mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear.

ARCAgRP/NPY Neuron Activity Is Required for Acute Exercise-Induced Food Intake in Un-Trained Mice
While much is known about the role of agouti-regulated peptide/neuropeptide Y (AgRP/NPY) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to regulate energy homeostasis, little is known about how forced energy expenditure, such as exercise, modulates these ...

The objective of this study was to determine whether α-adrenergic receptors are involved in the contractile activity of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the porcine isolated ovarian artery collected from immature pigs and from the animals on day 1-5, 8-13 and 17 ...

Avian Neuropeptide Y: Beyond Feed Intake Regulation
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant and ubiquitously expressed neuropeptides in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, and its regulatory effects on feed intake and appetite- have been extensively studied in a wide variety of ...

NPY mediates ATP-induced neuroproliferation in adult mouse olfactory epithelium
In the CNS, ATP is released upon injury and promotes neuroproliferation via purinergic receptors. In the olfactory epithelium, ATP promotes the synthesis and release of neurotrophic factor NPY in neonates and induces neuroproliferation in neonatal and ...
