Neurogenic atherosclerosis mediated by neuropeptide y: hardening of the evidence.
Atherosclerosis is a complex, progressive vascular disease that represents an enormous clinical problem, being the principal cause of myocardial infarction and stroke and responsible for 50% of all mortality in westernized societies.1 Multiple risk factors for atherosclerosis are known to exist, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and smoking. Treatment of occlusive coronary athero...
متن کاملA neuropeptide in immune-mediated inflammation, Y?
Disturbances in crosstalk between the immune system and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) can contribute to the pathogenesis of Th1-mediated autoimmunity. Recent studies indicate that neuropeptide Y (NPY) has a major role in the regulation of Th1 responses. The precise role of NPY has been an enigma, but a recent study provides a breakthrough, demonstrating that NPY has a bimodal role as a n...
متن کاملNeuropeptide Y Gene Polymorphisms Confer Risk of Early-Onset Atherosclerosis
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a strong candidate gene for coronary artery disease (CAD). We have previously identified genetic linkage to familial CAD in the genomic region of NPY. We performed follow-up genetic, biostatistical, and functional analysis of NPY in early-onset CAD. In familial CAD (GENECARD, N = 420 families), we found increased microsatellite linkage to chromosome 7p14 (OSA LOD = 4.2, ...
متن کاملThe anti-epileptic actions of neuropeptide Y in the hippocampus are mediated by Y and not Y receptors.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) potently inhibits glutamate release and seizure activity in rodent hippocampus in vitro and in vivo, but the nature of the receptor(s) mediating this action is controversial. In hippocampal slices from rats and several wild-type mice, a Y2-preferring agonist mimicked, and the Y2-specific antagonist BIIE0246 blocked, the NPY-mediated inhibition both of glutamatergic transmis...
متن کاملCellular targets for neuropeptide Y-mediated control of adult neurogenesis
Neuropeptides are emerging as key regulators of stem cell niche activities in health and disease, both inside and outside the central nervous system (CNS). Among them, neuropeptide Y (NPY), one of the most abundant neuropeptides both in the nervous system and in non-neural districts, has become the focus of much attention for its involvement in a wide range of physiological and pathological con...
