1 The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether neuropeptide Y, which coexists with noradrenaline in sympathetic nerves, may be released upon cigarette smoking. Norepinephrine neuropeptide Y Homo sapiens
2 Systemic plasma levels of noradrenaline and neuropeptide Y were significantly elevated after 3 and 5 min of smoking, respectively, and reached maximal values (neuropeptide Y from 32 +/- 4 to 49 +/- 7 pmol l-1, and noradrenaline from 0.72 +/- 0.16 to 1.8 +/- 0.44 nmol l-1) 2-5 min after the smoking period.
