Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE Since the neuropeptide Y (NPY) system has been reported to be involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety and in particular panic disorder and the genes coding for NPY Y1, Y2, and Y5 receptors are located in the suggested risk region (4q31-q32), variants in the NPY, NPY Y1, Y2, and Y5 genes were investigated for association with panic disorder in a sample of 230 German patients with panic disorder and matched healthy controls. 17948870 2008

Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE Neuropeptide Y (NPY) was shown to modulate anxiety- and depression-related behaviors in various animal models. 16691011 2006
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE For example, NPY is consistently involved in anxiety-related behaviors and there is increasing support for a role of this peptide in mood disorders such as depression. 16611091 2006
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a major endogenous regulator of anxiety-related behaviors and emotionality. 15897713 2005
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE Extensive animal studies suggest neuropeptide Y (NPY) to be involved in coping with a wide range of stressors, and that impaired central NPY signalling could be involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety and depression. 14757324 2004

Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE We found correspondence between linkage and microarray/candidate gene studies for genes involved with the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling system, nuclear factor kappa B (NFKB) complex, neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurotransmission, a nicotinic receptor subunit (CHRNA2), the vesicular monoamine transporter (SLC18A2), genes in pathways implicated in human anxiety (HTR7, TDO2, and the endozepine-related protein precursor, DKFZP434A2417), and the micro 1-opioid receptor (OPRM1). 15048644 2004

Anxiety Disorders
0.400 AlteredExpression group BEFREE It is suggested that NPY may influence ethanol consumption by regulating basal levels of anxiety, by modulating the sedative effects of ethanol, and/or by modulating ethanol's rewarding properties. 15337375 2004
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE Following recovery, a test of anxiety was conducted in which the rats (n = 12-13/group) received either artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) or NPY (10 microg) 10 min prior to a 5-min test on an elevated plus maze. 12824809 2003
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE I also suggest that, via CREB, NPY might interact with other CREB target genes, such as the gene encoding brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and that this CREB-mediated interaction might be important in the regulation of anxiety and alcohol drinking behaviors. 12967770 2003
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE These findings point to the potential of the NPY system for developing novel pharmacological treatments of stress-related disorders, including anxiety and depression. 12013027 2002

Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Therapeutic group CTD_human The Y1 receptor antagonist blocked the anxiolytic-like effect of neuropeptide Y, while the Y2 receptor antagonist was ineffective.We conclude that neuropeptide Y in the dorsocaudal lateral septum may act as an endogenous anxiolytic and antagonize corticotropin-releasing hormone (stress)-induced anxiety. 11440811 2001
CUI: C0003469
Disease: Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
0.400 Biomarker group BEFREE Because of the widespread distribution of NPY, it has been implicated in the modulation of a variety of behaviors, including, but not limited to, circadian rhythms /1/, memory retention /33/, feeding /19,56/, sympathetic control of cardiovascular function /89/ and anxiety /42,43/. 9711903 1998
