How can you use “npy” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • differed from those in the present paper: adrenalectomy failed to block the effects of fasting on hypothalamic AGRP and NPY, even though corticosterone implants were observed to induce AGRP mRNA.

  • Therefore hypothalamic AGRP and POMC mRNAs were both induced by the glucocorticoid implant, whereas the NPY mRNA was not significantly influenced.

  • Hypothalamic NPY mRNA exhibited a trend toward an increase although the effect was not significant (p = 0.14; Fig.

  • Adrenalectomy therefore completely blocked the effects of fasting on hypothalamic AGRP, POMC and NPY mRNAs.

  • Glucocorticoids have previously been reported to increase body weight set point, as determined by hoarding behavior in rats [ 11 ] , while adrenalectomy has been reported to lower body weight set point in rats [ 12 ] . In addition, central infusion of glucocorticoids leads to increases in body weight and food intake with a concomitant induction of hypothalamic NPY [ 13 ] . Nevertheless, it remains unclear if an elevation in glucocorticoid concentration contributes to the effect of fasting on hypothalamic gene expression.
