Right ventricular neuropeptide Y levels in a rat model of left ventricular failure.
Neuropeptide (NPY) and norepinephrine (NE) concentrations were measured in the right ventricle (RV) of rats with cardiac failure resulting from coronary artery ligation. RV NE concentrations fell significantly in rats with infarcts while RV NPY concentrations were unaltered.
