Genetic variation in human NPY expression affects stress response and emotion

Genetic variation in human NPY expression affects stress response and emotion An individual's ability to deal with stress and anxiety — risk factors for many diseases — varies widely across human populations and the factors contributing to emotional resilience are complex. A study led by researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism now points to inherited variations in the expression of the natural anxiolytic peptide neuropeptide Y in the brain as a factor in determining why some people can withstand stress better than others. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Springer Journals

Abstract

An individual's ability to deal with stress and anxiety — risk factors for many diseases — varies widely across human populations and the factors contributing to emotional resilience are complex. A study led by researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism now points to inherited variations in the expression of the natural anxiolytic peptide neuropeptide Y in the brain as a factor in determining why some people can withstand stress better than others.
