1 | We therefore microinjected NPY into the area of the PVN of both conscious, freely moving and anaesthetized rats and noted a powerful stimulatory effect on adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone release as measured by radioimmunoassay. | Corticosterone | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | In experiments with conscious, freely moving rats, higher ACTH and corticosterone levels were detected following injection of NPY into the area of the PVN than following control injection (desamidated NPY). | Corticosterone | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
3 | Intracerebroventricular injection of NPY produced a small, albeit significant, increase in circulating corticosterone levels as compared to control (saline-injected) rats. | Corticosterone | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
4 | Anaesthetized rats responded to NPY (but not to saline) injected into the area of the PVN with elevated ACTH and corticosterone levels, while injection of NPY into the neocortex failed to affect the blood concentration of either ACTH or corticosterone. | Corticosterone | neuropeptide Y | Rattus norvegicus |
