16026936 Wang SJ: Activation of neuropeptide Y Y1 receptors inhibits glutamate release through reduction of voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry in the rat cerebral cortex nerve terminals: suppression of this inhibitory effect by the protein kinase C-dependent facilitatory pathway. Neuroscience. 2005;134(3):987-1000.

NPY inhibited the Ca2+-dependent glutamate release evoked by 4-aminopyridine, and this inhibitory effect was mediated via NPY Y1 receptors, because it was mimicked by the specific NPY Y1 receptor agonist [Leu31 Pro34] NPY and blocked by the NPY Y1 receptor antagonist GR 231118.

The modulation of 4-aminopyridine sensitive transient outward potassium current (4-AP I (to)) by neuropeptide Y (NPY) (100 nM) in rat ventricular myocytes was examined using the whole cell voltage-clamp technique. 2.

Here we investigate the influence of vascular tone induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1), neuropeptide Y (NPY), KCl, 4-aminopyridine (inactivator of K (v) channels, 4-AP) or the calcium ionophore A23187 on contractile responses to the 5-HT (1)-receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) in small muscular pulmonary arteries from control rats and rats exposed to chronic hypoxia.

With slight preconstriction (norepinephrine and neuropeptide Y), pressure was raised from 60 to 100 mmHg, and both initial (within 2 min) and sustained phases (at 10 min) of the myogenic response were quantified.
Apamin, glibenclamide, 4-aminopyridine, and barium had no effect on either phase.

Here we show that rat ARC neurons containing neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP), which are conditional pacemakers, are activated by orexigens and inhibited by the anorexigen leptin.
