Comprehensive evaluation of the neuropeptide-Y gene variants in the risk of obesity by Zain, Shamsul Mohd, Mohamed, Zahurin, Jalaludin, Muhammad Yazid, Fauzi, F., Hamidi, A., Zaharan, Nur Lisa

“…Background Orexigenic actions mediated by neuropeptide-Y (NPY) promote body weight regulation. Genetic variations in the NPY gene could therefore influence susceptibility to obesity, but results have been conflicting. …”

Zerumbone improved immunoreactivity of neuropeptides in monosodium iodoacetate induced knee osteoarthritis in rat by Al-Saffar, Fayak Jabbar Taqi, Ganabadi, Shanthi, Fakurazi, Sharida, Yaakub, Halimatun

“…The main objective of this investigation was to explore the improvement effect of oral administration of zerumbone on the density of protein gene product; calcitonin gene related peptide and neuropeptide Y immunoreactive nerve fibers against monosodium iodoacetate induced osteoarthritis changes in rat's knee synovial membrane. …”

Efficacy of channa striatus bloch aqueous extract and zerumbone in alleviating induced knee osteoarthritis in rats by Al-Saffar, Fayak Jabbar Taqi

“…The study showed improved density of the following neuropeptide nerve fibers: protein gene product (PGP) 9.5, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY). Anti-inflammatory property of CS extract and zerumbone was assayed through estimation of serum prostaglandins E2 (PGE2) and F2α (PGF2α) concentrations using the enzyme immunoassay kits, to ascertain their positive effect on the OA joints. …”

Potential of elateriospermum tapos blume in ameliorating maternal metabolic syndrome on female offspring of sprague dawley rats through the hypothalamic feeding circuitry by Balan, Santhra Segaran

“…Specifically, the hypothalamus monitors and response to the peripheral signal such as Neuropeptide Y (NPY), proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and leptin receptor (Obr), which involve feeding circuitry organisms. …”

Association of candidate genes and molecular markers with male reproductive traits and meat quality properties in boer and boer cross goats by Nikbin, Saeid

“…Restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and comparative sequencing revealed three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in exon 3 of follicle stimulating hormone beta (FSHB), 200A>G (FSHB3-1), 226T>C (FSHB3-2) and 237A>G (FSHB3-3); two SNPs in the coding region of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70),73A>C (HSP70-1) and 190C>G (HSP70-2); one SNP in exon 2 of Luteinizing hormone beta (LHB) (207T>C) (LHB2); and one SNP in 5‘-UTR of neuropeptide Y (NPY) (182G>T) gene. There was also an indel in position 29 of NPY3. …”
