Galanin and vasopressin are coexpressed in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and
medial amygdala of the male rat. In adult males, the level of gene expression for both …

The neuropeptide galanin (GAL) has been implicated in a variety of neuroendocrine
functions and has been shown to be regulated by gonadal hormones in several brain …

Galanin-like immunoreactivity and galanin messenger RNA levels increase across puberty
in neurons of gonadal steroid-dependent brain nuclei. We hypothesized that this activation …

Neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and the medial amygdala (AMe)
coexpress vasopressin and galanin (GAL) in the adult male rat. Here, we have asked …

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 …

Hypothalamic galanin gene expression was investigated during reproductive maturation in
peripubertal rats. Rat galanin-like immunoreactivity (rGAL-LI) increased in the median …

In the rat, the secretion of GH is episodic and sexually dimorphic. The development and
regulation of this patterning of GH secretion are governed by the reciprocal influence of the …

The onset of puberty reflects the developmental activation of GnRH neurons whose
secretory activity awakens the reproductive axis; however, the cellular mechanisms involved …

The peptide galanin is localized in lactotrophs, somatotrophs, and thyrotrophs of the female
rat anterior pituitary gland (AP). These cell types are absent in the AP of the Ames dwarf …

Increasing experimental evidence has accumulated to suggest that galanin may be one of
the essential regulators in the reproductive system of the rat. Galanin is a polypeptide which …
