Blockade of neuropeptide Y2 receptor regulates gene expression in pathways of lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells

Neuropeptide Y(NPY)/NPY2 receptor(NPY2R) is involved in the stress-induced visceral obesity in mice. We have previously reported the association between 5'-flanking region of NPY2R gene SNPs and plasma HDL-cholesterol levels in healthy subjects. Plasma HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly different in subjects with each SNPs (rs6857530; GG
