1. In order to examine the concentration of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the circulation in man, blood was sampled from the iliac vein, the inferior vena cava, the superior vena cava, the pulmonary artery and the femoral artery in 13 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. 2. Plasma NPY-LI levels were similar at all points sampled and no arteriovenous differences were found. Plasma ANP concentration in the pulmonary artery was greater than in peripheral venous blood but there was a strong correlation between the two. 3. The concentration of NPY-LI and ANP in peripheral venous blood reflects central venous and arterial concentrations.

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.
