The metabolic effects of single injections of galanin into the paraventricular nucleus of the
hypothalamus (PVN) were investigated in an open-circuit calorimeter. Wistar rats were …

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 …

The neuropeptide galanin is expressed in sympathetic nerve terminals that surround islet
cells and inhibits insulin secretion. To explore its role for islet function, we studied mice with …

The neuropeptide galanin is widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral
nervous systems and participates in the regulation of processes such as nociception …

In order to explore which amino acids or which blocks of amino acids in the 29 amino acid
neuropeptide galanin are important for recognition of the endogenous ligand by galanin …

The effects of leptin upon body weight (BW) cannot be explained by its anorectic actions
alone. Part of the metabolic changes elicited by leptin includes sympathetic nervous system …

It is thought that galanin, a 29 amino acid neuropeptide, is involved in various neuronal
functions, including the regulation of food intake and hormone release. Consistent with this …

Examines the effects of hypothalamic galanin systems on hypothalamic neurons.
Distribution of galanin and galanin receptor systems in hypothalamus; Inhibitory effects of …

Galanin has been shown to stimulate feeding or modulate neuroendocrine secretions when
administered centrally. In the present work, using quantitative autoradiography, we …

Seeing that galanin increases animal body weight on the conditions of inhibiting insulin
secretion and animals with metabolic disorder of galanin easily suffer from diabetes, we …
