The study of the effect of the low molecular analog of neuropeptide Y on behavioral reactions in rats

Abstract

“elevated plus-maze”. Results. Experiments in rats showed the presence of anxiolytic properties of the compound without the associated sedative effect. In the tests “open field” and “elevated plus-maze”, the activating effect of the compound on the locomo-tor activity and a decrease in vegetative manifestations were observed. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate that the neuropeptide Y modified fragment is able to affect the anxiety level and research activity of rats; it substantiates the feasibility of further studies of this experimental compound.
