Abstract
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.Entities:
