NPY inhibits bead phagocytosis by microglial cells. (A) Representative photomicrographs illustrate the inhibitory effect of NPY on LPS-induced phagocytosis. (B) LPS (100 ng/ml) increased bead phagocytosis, while NPY (1 μM) inhibited this effect. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3-5) and as a percentage of control (***p < 0.001, using Bonferroni's Multiple Comparison Test). Scale bar 10 μm.
