Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an important hormone in appetite regulation. Although the
contribution of NPY to metabolic disease has been previously demonstrated, there are only
a few reports addressing NPY plasma levels under distinct diabetic conditions. In this study
we evaluated NPY plasma levels in diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) patients with (n= 34) and
without (n= 34) diabetic polyneuropathy (PNP) and compared these with age and gender
matched healthy controls (n= 34). We also analyzed NPY plasma levels in gestational …
