New antagonist agents of neuropeptide y receptors [PDF]
In the CNS, NPY has been implicated in obesity and feeding, endocrine function and metabolism. Potent and selective rNPY antagonists will be able to probe the merits of this approach for the treatment of obesity.

Neuropeptide Y receptors: How to get subtype selectivity [PDF]
The neuropeptide Y system is a multireceptor/multiligand system consisting of four receptors in humans (hY1, hY2, hY4, hY5) and three agonists (NPY, PYY, PP) that activate these receptors with different potency.

Evolution of neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors in nematodes
The Neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors belong to the Rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are involved in functions such as locomotion, feeding and reproduction.

Neuropeptide Y receptor in the rat brain [PDF]
The specific binding of the chloramine-T iodinated neuropeptide Y (125I-NPY) to membranes from rat cerebral cortex was investigated using equilibrium binding and kinetic methods. The equilibrium binding of 125I-NPY at 37 degrees C was characterized by a Kd value of 0.38 nM. The receptor densities in the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and cerebellum were

Characterization of vascular neuropeptide Y receptors [PDF]
In the present study we compared neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY‐related analogues for their ability to activate or bind to vascular NPY receptors in four experimental set‐ups. Previous results have suggested the existence of different receptor subtypes, Y1 receptors requiring full‐length NPY (1–36) or [Pro34]‐NPY, and Y2 receptors recognizing also N ...

Synthesis of receptor antagonists of neuropeptide Y. [PDF]
We report the synthesis of receptor antagonists of neuropeptide Y (NPY) by a strategy based on synthesis of mixtures of analogs and the subsequent isolation and identification of receptor antagonists from these mixtures. After screening a series of mixtures of NPY analogs by using an NPY antagonist assay, two potent receptor antagonists, designated PYX-

Y1 and Y2 receptors for neuropeptide Y [PDF]
By using monoiodinated radioligands of both intact neuropeptide Y (NPY) and of a long C‐terminal fragment, NPY13–36, two subtypes of binding sites, which differ in affinity and specificity, have been characterized. The Y1 type of binding site, characterized on a human neuroblastoma cell line, MC‐IXC, and a rat pheochromocytoma cell line, PC‐12, binds ...

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force initiated the TASK3 working group to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.
