Novel neuropeptide Y1 and Y5 receptor gene variants: associations with serum triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) appears to play a critical role in the integration of appetite and energy expenditure through NPY Y1 and Y5 receptor subtypes. Moreover, the NPY Y1 receptor is highly expressed on human adipocytes, where it inhibits lipolysis. The genes encoding these receptors are transcribed c...
