Background/aims: Abnormal baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) and elevated plasma neuropeptide Y (NPY) are prevalent in diabetic patients. The present study was conducted to determine whether NPY Y1 receptor (Y1R) and NPY Y2 receptor (Y2R) contribute to the regulatin of BRS in diabetic rats.
Methods: Diabetes mellitus (DM) rats with hyperlipidemia were developed by an emulsion diet enriched with fat, sucrose and fructose followed by streptozocin (STZ). Y1R and Y2R specific antagonists (BIBP 3226 and BIIE 0246) were administered by a mini-osmotic pump. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), BRS and heart functions, as well as the plasma NPY and lipid level were measured after treatment for 4 weeks.
Results: Both BIBP 3226 and BIIE 0246 treatment reversed the elevated total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) level, and reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) level in DM rats. BIIE 0246 may attenuate the increased triglyceride (TG) level in DM rats. In addition, neither BIBP 3226 nor BIIE 0246 treatment produced significant effects on BRS, SBP or HR (P>0.05) in DM rats, even after PE and SNP challenge. However, BIBP 3226 and BIIE 0246 further impaired LVSP, LVEDP, +dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmax.
Conclusion: This study provided us with the evidence that the inhibition of peripheral Y1R and Y2R did not affect impaired BRS but amplified the deterioration of the compromised cardiac function in STZ-induced DM rats with hyperlipidemia.

Studies conducted on mammalian models have indicated the role of galanin-like peptide (GALP) in appetite regulation. For the first time, the present study examines the effects of this peptide on feed consumption and behavioral changes, as well as its interaction with dopaminergic and neuropeptide Y (NPY) systems in broilers. In experiment 1, broilers were injected with GALP (0.

Pain and itch are regulated by a diverse array of neuropeptides and their receptors in superficial laminae of the spinal cord dorsal horn (DH). Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is normally expressed on DH neurons but not sensory neurons. By contrast, the Npy2r receptor (Y2) is expressed on the central and peripheral terminals of sensory neurons but not on DH neurons.

Article Synopsis
- Neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor antagonist BIIE0246 has a complex role in nociception, acting as both an inhibitor and facilitator depending on the presence of inflammation or nerve injury.
- In experiments with mice, BIIE0246 induced hypersensitivity and nociceptive behaviors in healthy mice while blocking Y2 receptors significantly curtailed these responses after surgery or nerve injury.
- The research suggests that Y2 receptors in sensory neurons initially provide inhibition of pain but may switch to promote heightened pain sensitivity (hyperalgesia) in certain pain models.

Previous studies have shown the role of apelin and its receptors in the regulation of food intake. In the present study, we investigate the mediating role of melanocortin, corticotropin, and neuropeptide Y systems in apelin-13- induced food intake in broilers. Eight trials were run in the current investigation to ascertain the relationships between the aforementioned systems and apelin-13 on food intake and behavioral changes after apelin-13 administration.

Memory is the ability to store, retrieve and use information that requires a progressive time-dependent stabilization process known as consolidation to be established. The hippocampus is essential for processing all the information that forms memory, especially spatial memory. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) affects memory, so in this study we investigated the participation and recruitment of NPY receptors during spatial memory consolidation in rats.
