The effects of intracerebroventricular NPY application on the general emotional activity in rats exposed to chronic immobilization stress

Abstract

Objective: It has been shown that Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has anxiolytic effects in behavioural studies and has anti-stressor activity during acute stress. In this study, we examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) NPY application on the general emotional activity in rats exposed to chronic immobilization stress.
