Galanin (GAL) is a neuropeptide cosynthesized with vasopressin (AVP) in neurons of the
hypothalamo‐neurohypophysial system. It increases food intake when injected into the brain …

Abstract Galanin (GAL), a 29 aminoacid peptide, is widely distributed in the central nervous
system and especially in the hypothalamus. It strongly stimulates food intake when it is …

Galanin, ghrelin, and leptin are three peptides involved in feeding regulation and more
particularly in fat intake. The Brattleboro (di/di) rat is a genetic model of diabetes insipidus …

Disruption of signaling in the ventromedial nucleus (VMN) by colchicine (COL) produces
transient (4 days) hyperphagia and weight gain. Microinjection of galanin into various …

Previous studies have suggested that the peptide galanin (GAL) in the hypothalamus is
related to the preference of an animal for dietary fat. The present report investigates this …

The peptide, galanin (GAL), is known to stimulate eating behavior, reduce energy
expenditure and affect the release of metabolic hormones. Further, the activity of this peptide …

Galanin (GAL) is known to stimulate feeding behavior. This peptide has different properties
and functions from other feeding stimulants, eg, neuropeptide Y and agouti-related protein …

The Brattleboro rat eats spontaneously 46% of its diet per day in fat when given a choice of
carbohydrate, protein and fat. An overexpression of galanin (GAL) has been also observed …

The physiological function of the peptide galanin (Gal) remains to be established. It is known
to exist in high concentrations within the hypothalamus and to modulate the secretion of …

Lean and obese male Zucker rats were fed high fat (72% of energy as fat), high
carbohydrate (66% of energy as carbohydrate) or intermediate diets for 4 weeks …
