Galanin is a peptide widely distributed throughout vertebrate central and peripheral nervous
systems. Although its precise physiologic role is unknown, it can stimulate the pituitary …

The distribution of galanin messenger (mRNA) and galanin-like immunoreactivity (Gal-LI) in
the anterior and posterior pituitaries of control and estrogen-implanted female rats was …

Galanin is widely distributed throughout the rat neural and endocrine system. The highest
concentrations are found in the anterior pituitary, and it can influence classical pituitary …

The neuropeptide galanin is predominantly expressed by the lactotrophs (the prolactin
secreting cell type) in the rodent anterior pituitary and in the median eminence and …

Galanin (GAL) has recently emerged as an important neuroendocrine regulator which
participates in the control of several pituitary and hypothalamic hormones. Our earlier …

Galanin (GAL) is widely distributed in the peripheral and the central nervous systems. In the
brain, the highest GAL concentrations are observed within the hypothalamus and …

Galanin gene expression in the anterior pituitary is potently stimulated by estrogen in adult
rats. To evaluate the influence of estrogen on galanin during the peripubertal period 30-to …

Galanin is colocalized with GnRH in neurons of the hypothalamus and basal forebrain of
female rats, and this neuropeptide may play a role in the generation of the midcycle surge of …

The administration of high levels of estrogen is a well established method for producing
prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors in rodents but the mechanism of tumor induction is not …

Galanin is localized within specific cell types of the rat anterior pituitary gland (AP).
Immunocytochemical studies at the light microscope level have shown that lactotrophs …
