Study 1: The effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) microinjected into the rat hypothalamus on ethanol consumption have been determined. In a study from the United States, "[g]uide cannula were implanted in rats aimed at the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus" for microinjection of NPY, "D-NPY27-36, or vehicle." "In the Wistar rat, there was no significant effect on the consumption of ethanol," L.A.C. Lucas and coauthors at East Carolina University found. "In Myers' high ethanol preferring (mHEP) rats, D-NPY27-36 caused a significant 54%...
