Impact of Orexin-A Treatment on Food Intake, Energy Metabolism and Body Weight in Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Orexin-A and -B are hypothalamic neuropeptides of 33 and 28-amino acids, which regulate many homeostatic systems including sleep/wakefulness states, energy balance, energy homeostasis, reward seeking and drug addiction.

Investigation of Neuropeptide Y as a metabolic marker and its effects on adipose vasculature and brainstem astrocytes [PDF]

, 2015
Subsets of morbidly obese patients do not appear to exhibit the expected comorbidities, as well as the fact that heightened sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity has been known to affect metabolism.

Structural basis of neuropeptide Y signaling through Y1 and Y2 receptors

MedComm
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36‐amino‐acid peptide, functions as a neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous systems by activating the NPY receptor subfamily.

Pharmacological and neurobiological studies on Neuropeptide S and its receptor [PDF]

, 2011
Neuropeptide S (NPS) is the last neuropeptide identified via reverse pharmacology techniques. NPS selectively binds and activates a previously orphan GPCR, now named NPSR, producing intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and stimulation of cAMP levels ...

Nitric oxide mediates the neuroproliferative effect of Neuropeptide Y

, 2012
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is widely expressed in both the central and peripheral nervous system and has an important role in the regulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis by mediating the proliferation of neural precursor cells in both health and disease ...

Differential suppression of seizures via Y2 and Y5 neuropeptide Y receptors

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
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.
