7. Evolution and Pharmacology of Neuropeptide Y Receptors, Implications for vertebrate genome duplications
Abstract : The Y receptors comprise a family of evolutionarily related receptors belonging to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Their natural ligands are in mammals neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). READ MORE

8. Evolution of the Neuropeptide Y System in Vertebrates with Focus on Fishes
Abstract : Gene families in vertebrates often contain more dulicates (paralogs) than in invertebrates. This has been attributed to genome duplications, i.e., tetraploidizations. READ MORE

9. Evolution of the Neuropeptide Y and Opioid Systems and their Genomic Regions
Abstract : Two whole genome duplications (2R) occurred early in vertebrate evolution. By using combined information from phylogenetic analyses and chromosomal location of genes, this thesis delineates the evolutionary history of two receptor-ligand systems that expanded by these large scale events.

10. Expression and Regulation of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the Islets of Langerhans
Abstract : This thesis deals with the expression, localization and regulation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans under normal and experimental conditions. NPY is widely distributed in the mammalian nervous system and belongs to a family of closely related petides also comprising peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). READ MORE
