Intracerebroventricular neuropeptide Y protects against stress-induced gastric erosion in the rat

M Heilig et al. Eur J Pharmacol. .

Abstract

The effects of intracerebroventricular administration of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on stress-induced gastric erosion in the rat were investigated. Animals were exposed to water immersion stress after a single injection of 2 nmol NPY. Stress-induced erosion was reduced by approximately 50%. The plasma corticosterone levels were not affected. We interpret the protective effect of NPY as a manifestation of its sedative properties.
