The effect of immunoneutralization of hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) on food intake was examined to clarify the involvement of NPY in the control mechanism of feeding behavior. Injection of anti-NPY gamma-globulin into the bilateral hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei of 24-h food-deprived rats significantly inhibited food intake for 1 h after the injection compared with rats that received normal rabbit gamma-globulin. This result suggests that NPY in the paraventricular nucleus plays a role in stimulating feeding behavior.

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.

D005719 gamma-Globulins Serum globulins that migrate to the gamma region (most positively charged) upon ELECTROPHORESIS. At one time, gamma-globulins came to be used as a synonym for immunoglobulins since most immunoglobulins are gamma globulins and conversely most gamma globulins are immunoglobulins. But since some immunoglobulins exhibit an alpha or beta electrophoretic mobility, that usage is in decline. gamma-Globulin,gamma Globulin,gamma Globulins
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
