Meta-Analysis on the Association of Neuropeptide Y rs16139 Variant With the Risk of Alcoholism
Introduction: The neuropeptide-Y (NPY) is involved in the development of alcoholism through NPY receptors. A T>C mutation causes substitution of leucine to proline at codon 7 (L7P; rs16139) in the signal peptide of neuropeptide Y is known to cause a ...

Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...

GABAergic neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMHGABA neurons) act as a key neuronal population controlling cold exposure‐induced white adipose tissue browning. DMHGABA neurons regulate the browning through DMH to the lateral preoptic area (LPO) projection.

Neuropeptide Y modulates the electrical activity of subfornical organ neurons
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 ...

Serotonin mediated changes in corticotropin releasing factor mRNA expression and feeding behavior isolated to the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei [PDF]
Fenfluramine reduces hunger and promotes body weight loss by increasing central serotonin (5-HT) signaling. More recently, neuropeptides have been linked to the regulation of feeding behavior, metabolism and body weight.

This study identifies CRISPLD2 as a key protector against IVDD. By regulating ferroptosis through the CRISPLD2–miR‐548I–IL17A axis, CRISPLD2 maintains NPCs homeostasis and reduces oxidative stress. Restoring CRISPLD2 expression effectively alleviates disc degeneration and highlights a promising therapeutic strategy for discogenic low back pain ...

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