                                Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides found throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. This 36-amino acid peptide's function is highly complex and diverse, playing a critical role in regulating numerous physiological processes, from appetite and mood to cardiovascular health.
