Özet

Objective: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been implicated in pathophysiology of anxiety and depression. It was proposed that NPY counteracts corticotropin-releasing factor-mediated stress effects to maintain emotional regulation. We investigated NPY concentrations in a sample of first episode medication-naive adolescent patients with MDD with regards to their history of suicide attempts.
