Role of sulfhydryl groups in Y2 neuropeptide Y receptor binding activity.
Benextramine, a tetramine disulfide, irreversibly inhibits neuropeptide Y (NPY) binding to the 50-kDa Y2 NPY receptor in bovine hippocampus (Li, W., MacDonald, R. G., and Hexum, T. D. (1991) Eur. J. Pharmacol. 207, 89-91). Evidence is presented that this inhibition occurs through a thiol-disulfide exchange. Treatment of bovine hippocampal membranes with benextramine inhibited NPY affinity cross...
متن کاملMarked decrease of neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor binding sites in the hippocampus in murine prion disease.
Using autoradiographic binding methodology with monoiodinated peptide YY together with the agonists neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY (13-36), as well as in situ hybridization with oligonucleotide probes complementary to the NPY Y2 receptor (Y2-R) mRNA, we have studied whether or not intracerebral prion inoculation affects Y2-Rs in male CD-1 mice. Monoiodinated peptide YY binding, mainly representin...
متن کاملNeuroprotective effects of neuropeptide Y-Y2 and Y5 receptor agonists in vitro and in vivo.
It is generally assumed that neurodegeneration is connected with glutamatergic hyperactivity, and that neuropeptide Y (NPY) inhibits glutamate release. Some earlier studies indicated that NPY may have neuroprotective effect; however, the results obtained so far are still divergent, and the role of different Y receptors remains unclear. Therefore in the presented study we investigated the neurop...
متن کاملSelective role of neuropeptide Y receptor subtype Y2 in the control of gonadotropin secretion in the rat.
Different signals with key roles in energy homeostasis regulate the reproductive axis. These include neuropeptide Y and polypeptide YY(3-36), whose type Y(2) receptor is the most abundant of this family in the brain. We evaluated herein the putative roles of Y(2) receptors in the control of gonadotropin secretion by means of central administration of PYY(13-36) (agonist of Y(2) receptors) and B...
متن کاملEffect of neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor deletion on emotional stress-induced neuronal activation in mice.
In different behavioral paradigms including the elevated plus maze (EPM), it was observed previously that deletion of the neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor subtype results in potent suppression of anxiety-related and stress-related behaviors. To identify neurobiological correlates underlying this behavioral reactivtiy, expression of c-Fos, an established early marker of neuronal activation, was examin...
