The neuropeptide galanin has been proposed to play a role in the regulation of fat intake.
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine if galanin and the galanin …

The peptide galanin (GAL) has a potent stimulatory effect on fat ingestion after
administration into the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). This study examined a …

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 …

Several reports indicate that central injection of galanin stimulates feeding, and that there is
macronutrient specificity in this response. In addition, the galanin receptor antagonist, M40 …

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‐like peptide (GALP) is a recently identified neuropeptide that shares sequence
homology with the orexigenic neuropeptide, galanin. In contrast to galanin, GALP is reported …

It has been widely suggested that saturated fat consumption has fuelled the current obesity
epidemic. Macronutrient choices appear to be important not only as potential factors …

Galanin has previously been reported to elicit feeding in satiated animals when injected into
the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. It is not known, however, 1) whether this action is …

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 …

To understand the function of the feeding-stimulatory peptide, galanin (GAL), in eating and
body weight regulation, the present experiments tested the effects of both acute and chronic …
