    Sammanfattning : The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system consists of 3-4 peptides and 4-7 receptors in vertebrates. It has powerful effects on appetite regulation and is involved in many other biological processes including blood pressure regulation, bone formation and anxiety. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Maternal deprivation and mood stabilizing drugs : effects on rat brain NPY

    Författare :Henriette Husum Bak-Jensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Maternal deprivation; stress; mood stabilizing drugs; NPY; mood disorders; depression; anhedonia; Hinders Sensitive Line rats; Amygdala-kindling; microdialysis; RIA; histochemistry.;

    Sammanfattning : Experiences of early adverse life events are more frequent among adult depressed patients than healthy subjects. Studies with non-human primates and rats show that maternal deprivation leads to changes in hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA)-axis activity/reactivity and increased levels of anxiety and alcohol preference.

  4. 8. Characterization of NPY receptors Y1, Y2 and Y5 expression and function in vivo

    Författare :Hessameh Hassani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :NPY; NPY receptors; knockout mice; behavior; food intake; pain; peripheral nerve injury; inflammation; inflammatory bowel disease.;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of these studies was to further elucidate the role of NPY receptors in the regulation of the food intake and energy homeostasis, nociception, and inflammation. We have utilized both normal and genetically modified mice, and a number of different techniques to study these mechanisms. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Expression and Regulation of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the Islets of Langerhans

    Författare :Ulrika Myrsén Axcrona; Neuroendokrin cellbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; regulatory peptides; diabetes; glucocorticoids; beta cell; islet hormones; neuropeptide Y; insulin; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the expression, localization and regulation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans under normal and experimental conditions. NPY is widely distributed in the mammalian nervous system and belongs to a family of closely related petides also comprising peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). LÄS MER
