The release of neuropeptide Y like immunoreactivity (NPY-li) from the adrenal gland was studied in relation to the secretion of catecholamines (CA: NE, norepinephrine; E, epinephrine) during the left splanchnic nerve stimulation in thiopental-chloralose anesthetized dogs (n = 16). Plasma concentrations of NE, E, and NPY-li were determined in the left adrenal venous and aortic blood. Adrenal outputs of NPY-li, NE, and E were 2.4 +/- 0.4, 1.4 +/- 0.2, and 7.3 +/- 1.7 ng/min, under basal conditions, respectively. These values increased significantly (p less than 0.05; n = 8) in response to a continuous stepwise stimulation at frequencies of 1, 3, and 10 Hz given at 3-min intervals during 9 min, reaching a maximum output of 4.6 +/- 0.9 (NPY-li), 240.2 +/- 50.2 (NE), and 1412.5 +/- 309.7 ng/min (E) at a frequency of 10 Hz. Burst electrical stimulation at 40 Hz for 1 s at 10-s intervals for a period of 10 min produced similar increases (p less than 0.05) in the release of NPY-li (4.8 +/- 1.0 ng/min, n = 8), NE (283.5 +/- 144.3 ng/min, n = 8), and E (1133.5 +/- 430.6 ng/min, n = 8). Adrenal NPY-li output was significantly correlated with adrenal NE output (r = 0.606; n = 24; p less than 0.05) and adrenal E output (r = 0.640; n = 24; p less than 0.05) in dogs receiving the burst stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.
