Abstract
⺠We investigated the role of neuropeptide Y on the methamphetamine-induced production of striatal nitric oxide. ⺠Neuropeptide Y receptor agonists (Y1 and Y2) attenuate nitric oxide production stimulated by methamphetamine. ⺠Neuropeptide Y2 receptor agonist inhibits the co-expression of cyclic GMP and activated caspase-3 in some striatal neurons. ⺠Preproneuropeptide Y mRNA is increased by methamphetamine suggesting increased utilization of the peptide.
