We have also shown that NPY in the retina presents neuroprotective properties. Specifically, NPY protected rat retinal cells in culture against 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA)-induced ...

Researchers have found that people whose genes predispose them to produce lower levels of brain molecule neuropeptide Y are more responsive to negative stimuli in key brain circuits related to emotion ...

Researchers found that lung immune cells (phagocytes) produce increased levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY) when mice are infected with severe influenza virus. NPY and its receptor form the NPY-Y1R axis.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors play important roles in appetite regulation. Many efforts have been made to develop drugs to treat obesity by regulating this system. However, the drug discovery is ...

Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have uncovered how pancreatic cancer hijacks a crucial metabolism 'switch' to help it spread, revealing a potential new treatment strategy for ...
