Central NPY‐Y5 sub‐receptor partially functions as a mediator of NPY‐induced hypothermia and affords thermotolerance in heat‐exposed fasted chicks

Abstract Exposure of chicks to a high ambient temperature (HT) has previously been shown to increase neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression in the brain. Furthermore, it was found that NPY has anti‐stress functions in heat‐exposed fasted chicks. The aim of the study was to reveal the role of central a...
