Neuropeptide Y (NPY), one of the most abundant peptides in the nervous system, exerts its
effects via five receptor types, termed Y 1, Y 2, Y 4, Y 5 and Y 6. NPY's pleiotropic functions …

The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system–comprising of neuropeptide Y, peptide YY, pancreatic
polypeptide and the corresponding Y receptors through which they act (Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5 and …

Background: Despite the therapeutic use of peptides is limited because of their metabolism
in vivo, there are no systematic reviews explaining degradation of peptides by peptidases …

The neuropeptide Y system has proven to be one of the most important regulators of feeding
behaviour and energy homeostasis, thus presenting great potential as a therapeutic target …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neuropeptide abundantly expressed in the mammalian central
and peripheral nervous system. NPY is a pleiotropic molecule, which influences cell …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is induced in peripheral tissues such as adipose tissue with obesity.
The mechanism and function of NPY induction in fat are unclear. Given the evidence that …

Abstract Background Proline specific peptidases (PSPs) are a unique group of enzymes that
specifically cleave bonds formed by a proline residue. The study of PSPs is important due to …

The proteolytic processing of neuropeptides has an important regulatory function and the
peptide fragments resulting from the enzymatic degradation often exert essential …

Apelins are human peptide hormones with various physiological activities, including the
moderation of cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and neurological function. Their potency is …
