November 2007 in “Journal of Neurochemistry” In this study, ethanol discontinuation in Y 1 R / LacZ transgenic mice significantly decreased neuropeptide Y immunoreactivity and increased Y 1 receptor gene expression in the amygdala, with evidence suggesting an important role for the progesterone metabolite 3α,5α‐TH PROG in these changes.

September 2002 in “Journal of Neurochemistry” This study found that changes in the brain concentrations of neuroactive steroids during pregnancy are linked to increased Y 1 receptor gene expression in the medial amygdala of transgenic mice.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” This review discusses recent advancements in omics and gene editing technologies for studying neuropeptides and receptors in fish, but reports no new experimental findings; the authors highlight the need for further research in this area.

April 2004 in “Journal of Neurochemistry” In this study, acute restraint stress increased Y1 receptor gene expression in the amygdala and PVN of transgenic mice, but this effect was not due to elevated neuroactive steroid concentrations, indicating a potential ligand-induced mechanism.

April 2016 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” This article reviews the role of vasoactive intestinal peptide in maintaining immune privilege in hair follicles and does not report new findings; the authors propose it as essential for immune homeostasis in alopecia areata.
