CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.300 Biomarker disease BEFREE The neuropeptide Y system has proven to be one of the most important regulators of feeding behaviour and energy homeostasis, thus presenting great potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of disorders such as obesity and at the other extreme, anorexia. 21545413 2011
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.300 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The regulation of NPY/NPY-R expression and function appears to be part of a complex system controlling multiple physiological functions, and its disruption might be relevant in the pathophysiology of disease states such as obesity. 12570784 2003

CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.300 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE NPY‑ergic neurons in the central amygdala were activated by chronic cold exposure in mice on HFD via neuronal pathways to decrease BDNF and increase GHRH mRNA expression, possibly contributing to the development of obesity and impairment of glucose homeostasis. 30106124 2018
