1 Plasma NPY-li levels were also correlated with norepinephrine levels only in hypertensive rats, but were correlated with epinephrine levels only in normotensive animals. Norepinephrine neuropeptide Y Rattus norvegicus
2 CONCLUSIONS: In DOCA-salt hypertensive rats, increased plasma NPY-li levels originate primarily from the sympathetic nerves, since those levels were correlated exclusively with circulating norepinephrine levels and they were associated with a reduction in NPY-li content of the heart and mesenteric artery. Norepinephrine neuropeptide Y Rattus norvegicus
