Anti-Neuropeptide Y / NPY Reco

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neuropeptide that plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including appetite, energy balance, stress response, and circadian rhythms. It is one of the most abundant peptides in the central nervous system (CNS) and is primarily produced by neurons in the hypothalamus, amygdala, and other brain regions. NPY exerts its effects through binding to specific receptors, known as NPY receptors (Y1, Y2, Y5), influencing a variety of functions such as food intake, anxiety, mood regulation, and blood pressure. In addition to its role in the brain, NPY is also involved in vascular function, immune responses, and cell proliferation. Dysregulation of NPY signaling has been linked to conditions such as obesity, anxiety disorders, depression, and cardiovascular diseases.
