During the past decade, proof of the principle that peptide receptors can be used
successfully for in vivo targeting of human cancers has been provided. The molecular basis …

The neurobiology of itch, which is formally known as pruritus, and its interaction with pain
have been illustrated by the complexity of specific mediators, itch-related neuronal pathways …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an abundant sympathetic co-transmitter, widely found in the central
and peripheral nervous systems and with diverse roles in multiple physiological processes …

The pancreatic islets are richly innervated by parasympathetic, sympathetic and sensory
nerves. Several different neurotransmitters are stored within the terminals of these nerves …

The hypothalamus regulates many aspects of energy homeostasis, adjusting both the drive
to eat and the expenditure of energy in response to a wide range of nutritional and other …

The present article provides a brief overview of various aspects on neuropeptides,
emphasizing their multitude and their wide distribution in both the peripheral and central …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one the most potent orexigenic peptides found in the brain. It
stimulates food intake with a preferential effect on carbohydrate intake. It decreases latency …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has a number of functions in mammalian physiology,,,,,. Here we
identify a role for NPY in promoting proliferation of postnatal neuronal precursor cells. NPY …

Orexins (orexin-A and-B) are recently identified neuropeptides, which are thought to be
implicated in the regulation of feeding behavior. We used a NPY-Y1 receptor specific …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino-acid neurotransmitter which is widely distributed
throughout the central and peripheral nervous system1. NPY involvement has been …
