title: The role of neuropeptide W in energy homeostasis.
abstract: Neuropeptide W is the endogenous ligand for G-protein-coupled receptors GPR7 and GPR8. In this review, we summarize findings on the distribution of neuropeptide W and its receptors in the central nervous system and the periphery, and discuss the role of NPW in food intake and energy homeostasis.
