This invention describes methods of treating conditions associated with an excess of neuropeptide Y which coomprises administering an analog of an obesity protein. This invention further describes methods of treating conditions associated with an excess of neuropeptide Y which coomprises administering an analog of an obesity protein in combination with a neuropeptide Y antagonist. This invention demonstrates that the obesity protein acts by reducing the production of neuropeptide Y by the hypothalamus.
