title: Antinociceptive effects induced by intra-periaqueductal grey administration of neuropeptide Y in rats.
abstract: Hindpaw withdrawal latency (HWL) to thermal and mechanical stimulation increased dose-dependently after intra-periaqueductal grey (PAG) injection of neuropeptide Y (NPY). Furthermore, the NPY-induced increases in HWLs were attenuated by intra-PAG injection of the Y1 receptor antagonist NPY28-36. The results demonstrated that NPY plays an important role in antinociception in PAG, in which Y1 receptor is involved in.
