A novel peptide, neuropeptide Y NPY. with a C-terminal tyrosine amide. swas isolated from the brain in 1982.'This peptide, named neurpeptide Y INPY). has 36 amino acids. contains five tyrosine residues in its primary structure, and has structural similarities to peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptidc. Following the isolation of NPY. a variets of studies has delnonstrated that NPY is widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous sv slems and has a multiplicity of physiological functions. including the regulation of neuroendocrine secretion and circadian rhythmicit,. modulation of consummatory and reproductive behavior, and sympathetic cardiovascular control. The structure of NPY has been\xcll conserved during evolution, and studies of the structure-function of NPY indicate that the C-terminal amide structure of NPY is critical for its biological acti, ity. Moreover. NPY is found to act at both the pre-and postjunctional levels, ahd the whole structure of NPY appears to be required for its postiunctional effects, while a C-terminal portion of the molecule is sufficient for exerting the prcjunctional effects. This review\will concentrate on the effects of NPY on consummatory beha% ior and associated endocrine and metabolic systems. Neuropeptide Y is known to have particularly high concentrations within the hypothalamus, as: ructure which is most critically involved in energy homeostasis and neuroen,,,: rineautonomic sstenis.]'his peptidc is also known to coexist, in certain hypothalamic neurons, with the classical aniner-ic neurotransmitters. namely. norepinephrine NEL. epinephrine tEPb and serotonin (5-HT). Recent studies. building on extensive evidence showingz NE and 5-HIT to have potent and well-defined effects within the hypothalamus.'-suggest that these h., pothalanic neurocircuits may provide excellent model systems for examining, in locali/ed brain areas., the precise nature of the peptide-amine interaction,, in the brain and their physiological function in controlling ingestive behavior and Npecific endocrine and metabolic processes. A wide variety of evidence now% indicates that most neurons utilize more than one transmitter to perform their functions. This neuronal coexistence of transmitters greatly increases the number of messages that reach the postsynaptic cell. to affect its metabolic and electrical state. Through immunohistochernical technique,,, certain peptides have been identified and found to coexist with the monoamines in neurons and neurosecretory cells of the periphery and brain.'These neuropeptides and the classical neurotransmitters may be colocalized in the same or different subellular organelles\xithin the ner\e terminal, and investigators have attempted to deter-ine tle nature of the interaction between the ncurotransnlittcrs and their receptors. The peptides may act directl\via incir own peptidcrgic receptors and independently of the rmonoaniuies they may also act in a dependent fashion, either presynaptically through modulating the release of the nionoamines or postsynapticall through modulation of the monoaminergic efflector response or
