Although humanity seeks to explore deep space, space flight factors still pose a serious barrier to long-range missions. It is widely known that spaceflight factors disturb homeostatic systems of organism and impact functioning of the majority of physiological systems. According to the current concept, all changes occurring in the physiological systems during space flight are reversible. However, recovery of some systems after exposure in microgravity can be longer than actual mission duration.

It is believed that proteome remodeling in microgravity will shed light on molecular mechanisms and, specifically, signaling networks involved in the adaptive response of organism to the spaceflight environment.

Among the many mediators involved in important physiological and psychological systems, NPY in particular appears to be a multisignaling key peptide. The biological actions of NPY are vast and mediated via the Y<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>2</sub>, Y<sub>4</sub>, and Y<sub>5</sub> receptors, which are involved in both essential physiological and pathophysiological processes. Here, we discuss various roles of NPY in seven systems: a) regulation of energy homeostasis, b) thermoregulation, c) circadian system, d) sleep, e) nociception, f) emotional behavior, and g) the autonomic nervous system.</p><p>NPY regulates a) energy homeostasis with actions at different sites (central and peripheral), via different receptors in various neuronal tissues. Due to its prominent actions in the brain, including stimulating appetite, NPY function has gained importance. However, NPY is more than just an orexigenic peptide. Food intake and decrease in energy expenditure are exerted together by the Y<sub>1</sub> and Y<sub>5</sub> receptors. While the Y<sub>4</sub> receptor exerts anorexigenic effects, the Y<sub>2</sub> receptor has central anorexigenic and peripheral orexigenic properties. The involvement of NPY in b) thermoregulation remains unclear. Although it has been reported that cold exposure activates NPY. Increased or decreased thermogenesis has been observed as a result of NPY administration to different central sites. Central Y<sub>1</sub> and Y<sub>5</sub> receptors inhibit sympatho-adrenal transmitted thermogenesis in peripheral brown adipose tissue. NPY functions as a chemical messenger autonomous of the light-dark-cycle in the c) circadian rhythm and exerts similar phase-shifting effects to those of light. NPY leads to a shortened d) sleep onset and reduced REM latency, but its role in the circadian rhythm seems to be elusive and has not been established. NPY is implicated in e) pain perception and modulates nociception. It has been shown to cause both nociceptive and anti-nociceptive responses.</p><p>Moreover, Y receptors are thought to form heterodimers with those of galanin and glutamate to enhance their nociceptive modulatory effects. Especially the role of the Y<sub>2</sub> receptor within this system and all the other systems reveals opposite properties. The different effects of Y<sub>2</sub> receptors are dependent on their central or peripheral location.These opposing effects can be observed in other receptors as well and are likely explained by tissue-specific differences in receptor expression (number and distribution of receptors). Differences in cell type-specific second messenger coupling also play a role. Therefore, centrally located receptors can have a completely different function than peripherally located receptors.
