Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a peptide with 36-amino acid residues which was oiginally isolated
from the porcine brain'and probably represents the earlier described neuronal pancreatic
polypeptide-like immunoreactivity. 2 A major portion of the NPY-immunoreactive nerves in
peripheral organs represents classical sympathetic fibres where NPY co-exists with
noradrenaline (NA). NPY is thus present in perivascular sympathetic fibres as well as in the
noradrenergic nerves to the muscle of the heart, spleen. and vas deferens.
