This invention provides methods of modifying feeding behavior, including increasing or decreasing food consumption, e.g., in connection with treating obesity, bulimia or anorexia. These methods involve administration of compounds are selective agonists or antagonists or the Y5 receptor. One such compound has the structure: ##STR1## In addition, this invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Y5 receptor, an isolated Y5 receptor protein, vectors comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Y5 receptor, cells comprising such vectors, antibodies directed to the Y5 receptor, nucleic acid probes useful for detecting nucleic acid encoding Y5 receptors, antisense oligonucleotides complementary to any unique sequences of a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a Y5 receptor, and nonhuman transgenic animals which express DNA a normal or a mutant Y5 receptor.
这项发明提供了修改饮食行为的方法,包括增加或减少食物摄入,例如与治疗肥胖症、暴食症或厌食症有关。这些方法涉及给予选择性激动剂或拮抗剂或Y5受体的化合物。其中一种化合物具有以下结构:此外,这项发明提供了编码Y5受体的孤立核酸分子,孤立的Y5受体蛋白,包含编码Y5受体的孤立核酸分子的载体,包含这种载体的细胞,针对Y5受体的抗体,用于检测编码Y5受体的核酸的核酸探针,与编码Y5受体的核酸分子的任何独特序列互补的反义寡核苷酸,以及表达DNA正常或突变Y5受体的非人类转基因动物。
