Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide well known for its role in regulating food intake and energy homeostasis. It has previously been shown that the NPY Y2 receptor is required for a full biological response to leptin in the central nervous system. We have examined the impact of this receptor on plasma levels of lipid and cholesterol in wild type and obese (ob/ob) mice. The results show...
mRNA encoding the human NPY Y 1 and NPY Y 2 receptors were detected in cerebral, meningeal, and coronary arteries using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, the trigeminal and superior cervical ganglia were positive for both receptors. In some arteries and in SK-N-MC cells only mRNA encoding the NPY Y 1 was detected. Besides the expected NPY...
