abstract：:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is highly expressed in the hypothalamus, where it regulates feeding and energy homeostasis. Interestingly, NPY and its receptors are also expressed in peripheral tissues with roles in metabolism, including pancreatic islets. In islets, NPY is known to suppress insulin secretion acutely. In additio...
