Other central effects of NPY

In addition to its effects on feeding, peripheral metabolism and pituitary function, NPY also displays a diverse range of other effects thought to be mediated through an action within the hypothalamus. 

In conclusion, the effect of NPY on thermoregulation appears to be site-specific and dose-dependent. These studies present strong evidence for the involvement of multiple receptor subtypes in mediating the various central effects of NPY
