Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid peptide belonging to the pancreatic polypeptide
family that has marked and diverse biological activity across species. NPY originally was …

This paper is based on a presentation given at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the
Study of Ingestive Behavior in July 2021 and provides a personal view on some of the …

Insulin and amylin are cosecreted by pancreatic B cells and have receptors within the
central nervous system (CNS), where they exert multiple effects. Although these peptides …

Amylin is a recently discovered 37 amino acid peptide which is co-secreted from the
pancreas with insulin and acts to modulate carbohydrate metabolism. Recently, high-affinity …

Adult male rats were intraperitoneally (IP) injected with 1.0 μg/kg amylin at the beginning of
the dark phase in 24 h food deprived or undeprived rats, and a computerized system …

Amylin is co-secreted with insulin from the pancreas of patients with non-insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus, and its deposition may contribute to the central nervous system (CNS) …

The effect of amylin injected IP on food intake in rats of different age (7–9 weeks, 3 months,
15–18 months) was investigated. The possible site of amylin action was investigated using …

Human amylin, or islet amyloid polypeptide, is a peptide cosecreted with insulin by the beta
cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. The 37-residue, C-terminally amidated human …

Epinephrine and amylin stimulate glycogenolysis, glycolysis, and Na+-K+-ATPase activity in
skeletal muscle. However, it is not known whether these hormones stimulate glycolytic ATP …

Islet amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition and accumulation of amylin in pancreatic
beta-cells and is observed in 90% of patients with type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have …
