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 …

The structure of a large neural system that responds to and regulates energy balance and
that encompasses that PVN and activity of the HPA axis has begun to emerge from these …

This review focuses on research on both the neural substrate of maternal responsiveness
and on the physiological, behavioral, and motivational adaptations to the maternal state. The …

The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the possible role of neuropeptide Y (NPY)
in the feeding regulation in fish. We examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) or …

Polypeptides produced in the gastrointestinal tract, stomach, adipocytes, pancreas and brain
that influence food intake are referred to as 'feeding-related'peptides. Most peptides that …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a peptide abundantly expressed in the mammalian nervous system,
has been extensively studied using traditional pharmacological and behavioral models …

Alcohol dependence is a common disorder with a heterogenous etiology. The results of
family, twin and adoption studies on alcoholism are reviewed. These studies have revealed …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a powerful stimulus to food intake in the rat. Exogenous NPY given
into the third ventricle or into the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus …

Background: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) deficient mice consume more ethanol than controls,
whereas NPY over‐expressing mice consume less ethanol than controls. Thus, ethanol …
