Peripheral-specific Y1 receptor antagonism increases thermogenesis and protects against diet-induced obesity

Peripheral-specific Y1 receptor antagonism increases thermogenesis and protects against diet-induced obesity

Neuropeptide Y signalling in the periphery contributes to the regulation of metabolic and energy homeostasis. Here the authors show that blocking Y1R signalling in peripheral tissues using the selective antagonist BIBO3304 ameliorates diet-induced obesity and improves whole-body glucose metabolism.
