it is known that neuropeptide y which is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system is able to prevent seizures in animals. there are limited studies about the role of neuropeptide y in febrile seizures. this study was conducted to evaluate the association between plasma neuropeptide y level and febrile seizures in children. seventy six patients with typical and atypical febrile s...

background :many pregnant muslim women choose to fast during ramadan every year worldwide. this study aimed to examine the effect of ramadan fasting on serum leptin, neuropeptide y and insulin in pregnant women and find whether fasting during pregnancy could have a negative effect on the health of mothers and fetuses.   methods : this cross-sectional study was conducted on 39 healthy volunteer ...

The neuropeptide BW receptor 1 (NPBW1, provisional nomenclature [6]) is activated by two 23-amino-acid peptides, W (neuropeptide W-23) and B B-23) [22, 7]. C-terminally extended forms of the peptides W-30 B-29) also activate NPBW1 [2]. Unique to both N-terminal bromination first tryptophan residue, it from this post-translational modification that NPB derived. These were identified bovine hypot...

The Neuropeptide FF receptor family contains two subtypes, NPFF1 and NPFF2 (provisional nomenclature [12]), which exhibit high affinities for neuropeptide (NPFF, O15130) RFamide related peptides (RFRP: precursor gene symbol NPVF, Q9HCQ7). is broadly distributed in the central nervous system with highest levels found limbic hypothalamus. present density superficial layers of mammalian spinal cor...

objective(s): atherosclerosis is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease. neuropeptide y (npy) and its receptors, located in peripheral tissue such as white adipose tissue, have been linked to obesity and fat storage. the role of npy in atherosclerosis has not yet been fully studied, so this study was conducted to further investigate the effect of biie 0246, an npy receptor antagoni...

introduction: dental pulp has neural fibers that produce neuropeptides like substance p (sp) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (cgrp). the inflammation of dental pulp can lead to an increase amount of sp and cgrp release, especially in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. therefore, it can be assumed that neuropeptides have some role in the progression of inflammation of the dental pulp. the ai...

introduction: neuropeptide y (npy) is the most abundant peptide present in mammals' brains. the majority of npy-producing neurons is in arcuate and paraventricular nuclei of hypothalamus which affect hypophysiotrapic factors secretion. in this study we investigated the effect of intravenous injections of various doses of npy on thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (t3) serum concentrations....

introduction: numerous studies have demonstrated that kisspeptin, a peptide from the kiss1 gene, plays an important role in regulating the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh). also, there is some evidence suggesting that kisspeptin can interact with other neuropeptides for the control of the reproductive axis. in the present study, we have investigated the effect of central admin...

This study aimed to examine the effect of Ramadan fasting on serum leptin, neuropeptide Y and insulin in pregnant women and find whether fasting during pregnancy could have a negative effect on the health of mothers and fetuses.   Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted on 39 healthy voluntee...
