ZHAO Qing HU Chang-hua. Studies of Neuropeptide Y and Its Receptors as Target in Obesity[J]. Health Medicine Research and Practice, 2008,(2):70-73.DOI:
Obesity is a very seriously danger for human’s health
NPY is implicated in energy homeostasis
and contributes to obesity.NPY receptors are involved in mediating NPY-induced stimulation of food intake and body weight gain.This article will not only expatiate the mechanisms which NPY and its receptors play in obesity’s occurrence and development
but also introduce the potential targets and drug precursors in discovery of the drugs to therapy obesity.
