High Ratio of Membrane Surface Area to Cytoplasmic Volume: Neurons have a large surface area relative to their cytoplasmic volume, which increases their exposure to extracellular oxidizing agents and makes them more susceptible to oxidative damage
It also functions as a neurotransmitter, inhibiting the neuropeptide Y pathway, one the most potent orexigenic peptides found in the brain, while stimulating the anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) pathway
