In the study, however, it was found that in addition to noradrenaline, these nerves also express neuropeptide Y, something previously unknown in this part of the nervous system. "When NPY is ...

An international team of researchers has discovered a new component of the peripheral nervous system that acts by increasing energy metabolism in the body.

The best characterized pathways are the orexigenic neuropeptide Y/Agouti-related protein and the anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin/cocaine- and amphetamine-related transcript neurons in the ...

Reporting in Nature Medicine, Kuo and colleagues now show that the stress-triggered release of neuropeptide Y (NPY) can also directly stimulate fat angiogenesis in the periphery, as well as the ...

Researchers have identified a natural substance, hederagenin, that blocks the NPFFR1 receptor, a protein involved in pain perception in the brain and spinal cord.

In the study, however, it was found that in addition to noradrenaline, these nerves also express neuropeptide Y, something previously unknown in this part of the nervous system. When NPY is active ...
