Industry Reviews Neuropeptide tyrosine (neuropeptide Y, NPY) and structurally related peptides may be the most abundant mammalian neuropeptides identified to date, and thus have attracted a great amount of interest. This volume presents an integrated examination of the research to date on NPY and its cogeners. The contributors examine the impact that the studies of these peptides have had on their respective fields, provide an overview of the present state of knowledge, and speculate on the larger questions of their mechanisms of action, what their "purpose(s)" in a given system may be, and assess the possibility of causal links to human disease.
