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 …

We have investigated, by Northern blot analysis, the hypothalamic gene expression
[messenger RNA (mRNA)] of two appetite stimulating neuropeptides, neuropeptide Y (NPY) …

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-like peptide (GALP) is produced in a small population of neurons in the arcuate
nucleus of the hypothalamus, and leptin stimulates the hypothalamic expression of GALP …

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 …

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 …

USING in situ hybridization histochemistry we have studied the effect of glucose and fat
deprivation on galanin-R1 receptor (GAL-R1-R) mRNA levels in the rat paraventricular …

We examined the galanin-like peptide (GALP) gene expression in the arcuate nucleus
(ARC) and posterior pituitary (PP) in 6-and 18-week-old male obese fa/fa rats. GALP mRNA …
