Neuropeptide Y prepares rats for scheduled feeding.
When neuropeptide Y (NPY) is administered centrally, meal-anticipatory responses are elicited. If an increase of endogenous NPY is a signal that heralds an imminent large caloric load, timed daily NPY injections may be expected to condition meal-anticipatory responses that facilitate ingestion. Rats received 4-h access to food beginning in the morning and then timed (1600 h), daily third-ventri...
متن کاملIncreased blood pressure responses in neuropeptide Y transgenic rats.
Considering the coexistence of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and norepinephrine in perivascular sympathetic nerves and the known vasoconstrictor cooperation of NPY with norepinephrine, we investigated the involvement of NPY in long-term control of cardiovascular functions using NPY transgenic (NPY-tg) rats. These rats were developed by injection of the rat (Sprague-Dawley) pronuclei with a 14.5-kb clone...
متن کاملNeuropeptide Y reverses chronic stress-induced baroreflex hypersensitivity in rats.
Chronic stress, as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, has been reported to result in elevated plasma neuropeptide Y (NPY) and be highly associated with abnormal cardiac autonomic function. This study aimed to explore the effect of NPY on the chronic stress-induced abnormal baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS). Seven types of recognized stressors were used to develop chronic stress rat ...
متن کاملCentral administration of neuropeptide Y induces wakefulness in rats.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a well-characterized neuromodulator in the central nervous system, primarily implicated in the regulation of feeding. NPY, orexins, and ghrelin form a hypothalamic food intake regulatory circuit. Orexin and ghrelin are also implicated in sleep-wake regulation. In the present experiments, we studied the sleep-modulating effects of central administration of NPY in rats. Ra...
متن کاملHypotension and reduced catecholamines in neuropeptide Y transgenic rats.
The neurons that control blood pressure express neuropeptide Y. Administered centrally, this neuropeptide reduces blood pressure and anxiety, together with lowering sympathetic outflow. The generation of neuropeptide Y transgenic rats overexpressing this peptide, under its natural promoter, has allowed us to examine the role of endogenous neuropeptide Y in the long-term control of blood pressur...
