Neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity in human cerebrospinal fluid. 1986

W H Berrettini, and J I Nurnberger, and D A DiMaggio

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunoreactivity has been determined in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). High pressure liquid chromatography revealed that the NPY immunoreactivity co-eluted with authentic NPY. The range of NPY levels was 108 +/- 18 pg/ml (mean +/- S.D.) in a group of 28 normal subjects. In five additional subjects NPY immunoreactivity was measured in 4 sequential 8 ml aliquots of CSF to determine whether a rostro-caudal gradient was present. No significant differences in NPY levels were detected between any of the 4 aliquots.

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.
