It is now well accepted that sympathetic nerves express as many as three neurotransmitters: norepinephrine (NE), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)[1–4]. Evidence for the existence of these three co-transmitters has come from studies showing that they are located in sympathetic nerves, that they can be released under appropriate conditions, that the application of each mimics a phase of sympathetic nerve stimulation, and that each phase can be blocked with an appropriate antagonist. NPY is known to be colocalized with NE and ATP in perivascular nerves innervating a variety of blood vessels. NPY exerts prejunctional modulatory effects on transmitter synthesis and release [5]. The peptide is also involved in cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms. Studies with selective NPY-Y1 antagonists provide evidence that the principal postjunctional receptor that produces direct contractile effects or potentiation of the contractile effects of other vasoactive substances is of the Y1 subtype. Similarly, studies with selective Y2 antagonists suggest that the principle prejunctional receptor is of the Y2 subtype, both in the periphery and central nervous system (CNS)[5]. Other NPY receptor subtypes may also be involved in the prejunctional and postjunctional actions of NPY although information is incomplete.It appears well accepted that essential hypertension is a multifactorial disease involving many alterations in the nervous system and endocrine system as well as alterations in vascular smooth muscle function. Despite the complex nature of the pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to hypertension, there is considerable evidence for an involvement of increased sympathetic nerve activity in various experimental hypertensive models as well as human hypertension [6–11].
