Neuropeptide Y inhibits cAMP accumulation in renal proximal convoluted tubules. 1990

The effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on cAMP accumulation in various segments of the rabbit nephron was examined. NPY inhibited parathyroid hormone-stimulated cAMP accumulation in the proximal convoluted tubule in a concentration-dependent manner. NPY also inhibited forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in this segment of the nephron. In contrast, NPY had no effect on parathyroid hormone or forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in the proximal straight tubule. Similarly, NPY had no effect on forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels along the rest of the nephron. These results are consistent with previous studies which have localized NPY receptors to the proximal convoluted tubule, and suggest that NPY via its effects on cAMP metabolism may play a role in proximal tubule transport.

D007687 Kidney Tubules, Proximal The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.

D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
