Lang, Sally A., and Michael B. Maron.Effect of neuropeptide Y on hemodynamics of the rabbit lung. J. Appl. Physiol. 84(2): 618–623, 1998.—We evaluated the effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on the hemodynamics of the isolated rabbit lung perfused at constant flow and outflow pressure. Doses of 10−8 and 10− 7 M NPY increased pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) from 11.5 ± 1.0 (SE) mmHg to, respectively, 16.4 ± 1.5 and 26.0 ± 3.8 mmHg ( P < 0.05, n = 5 mmHg lungs), with 78 ± 4% of the increase at 10−7 M resulting from an increased arterial resistance. At the latter dose, pulmonary capillary pressure increased from 5.8 ± 0.9 to 9.4 ± 1.0 mmHg ( P < 0.05). When administered in the presence of norepinephrine, 10−8 and 10−7 M NPY ( n = 6) produced extreme increases in Ppa to 66.1 ± 20.5 and 114.7 ± 25.5 mmHg, respectively, that were due primarily to an increased arterial resistance. To determine the significance of circulating NPY as a pulmonary vasoactive agent, we measured plasma NPY-like immunoreactivity in anesthetized rabbits after massively activating the sympathetic nervous system with veratrine. NPY-like immunoreactivity increased from 74 ± 10 to 111 ± 10 (SE) pM ( P < 0.05). Thus, although NPY is a potent vasoconstrictor in the rabbit lung, it is not likely that plasma NPY concentrations rise sufficiently, even after massive sympathetic nervous system activation, to produce pulmonary vasoconstriction in the intact rabbit.

The sympathetic nervous system regulates cardiac function through release of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides within the myocardium. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) acts as an acute cardiac vasoconstrictor and chronically to regulate angiogenesis and cardiac remodeling. Current methodologies for the measure of NPY are not capable of providing rapid readouts on a single-sample basis. Here we provide the first in vivo methodology to report dynamic, localized NPY levels within both myocardium and vascular compartments in a beating heart.
