NPY in the coordination of bone mass to body weight

Neuropeptide Y knockout mice reveal a central role of NPY in the coordination of bone mass to body weight.

Basically, high NPY = low bone density, and low NPY = high bone mass

NPY is another starvation hormone, it basically tells your body that your starving and that all ingested calories should go towards storage.
