1 Arterial pressure increases, in response to norepinephrine injection, were greater in the NPY-tg rats. Norepinephrine neuropeptide Y Rattus norvegicus
2 These results indicate that NPY, when expressed in increased amounts, potentiates the pressor effects of norepinephrine and contributes to maintaining blood pressure during hemorrhage, but it does not alter resting blood pressure. Norepinephrine neuropeptide Y Rattus norvegicus
3 These transgenic rats will facilitate studies of the role of NPY signaling in cardiovascular regulation, particularly regarding its functional cooperation with norepinephrine. Norepinephrine neuropeptide Y Rattus norvegicus
