Expression of neuropeptide Y and its receptors Y1 and Y2 in the rat heart and its supplying autonomic and spinal sensory ganglia in experimentally induced diabetes

Abstrakt

The present study provides data on cellular distribution and quantitative expression of the cardiac neuronal NPY-Y1R/Y 2R signalling system in the course of long-term diabetes, demonstrating that an imbalance develops slowly and differentially afects atria and ventricles.
