| 1 | Agmatine in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus stimulates feeding in rats: involvement of neuropeptide Y. | Agmatine | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | Similarly, NPY and [Leu31, Pro34]-NPY potentiated the agmatine-induced hyperphagia, whereas BIBP3226 inhibited it. | Agmatine | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
| 3 | Similarly, NPY and [Leu31, Pro34]-NPY potentiated the agmatine-induced hyperphagia, whereas BIBP3226 inhibited it. | Agmatine | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
| 4 | Agmatine increased NPY immunoreactivity in the PVN fibres and in the cells of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) and this effect was prevented by pretreatment with yohimbine. | Agmatine | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
| 5 | CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The orexigenic effect of agmatine is coupled to increased NPY activity mediated by stimulation of alpha2-adrenoceptors within the PVN. | Agmatine | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
