Neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor (Y1R) signalling has been shown to play a key role in bone homeostasis, emerging as a novel therapeutic target in bone diseases. Y1R knockout mice (Y1−/−) display a high-bone mass phenotype that has been mainly attributed to increased osteoblast activity. Nevertheless, the Y1R regulatory role on osteoclastogenesis and matrix resorption remains largely unknown. To clarify th...
