Common neuropeptide Y2 receptor gene variant is protective against obesity among Swedish men.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Mar 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gut hormones and their receptors are considered important in the control of feeding behavior. The gut hormone peptide-YY (PYY) has anorexic effects via the inhibitory neuropeptide Y2 receptor (Y2R) highly expressed in orexigenic NPY/AGRP neurons within the arcuate nucleus, a major integrator of appetite control in the hypothalamus. DESIGN: Genetic case-control association study of single nucleotide...
