Galanin is a peptide consisting of 29 or 30 (in humans) amino acids that is present in
sensory and spinal dorsal horn neurons. Endogenous galanin may have an important …

The neuropeptide galanin has diverse roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems,
by activating the G protein-coupled receptors Gal 1, Gal 2 and the less studied Gal 3 (GalR1 …

The expression of galanin and neuropeptide Y in rat lumbar 5 (L5) dorsal root ganglia and
dorsal horn (L4–5) was studied after four types of peripheral nerve injury using …

The neuropeptide galanin is widely, but not ubiquitously, expressed in the adult nervous
system. Its expression is markedly upregulated in many neuronal tissues after nerve injury or …

Galanin can normally be detected only in a few dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, but it is
dramatically upregulated after peripheral nerve injury in both rat and monkey. Galanin is …

Galanin, along with enkephalins and neuropeptide Y, has been hypothesized to negatively
modulate nociception in the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord. In the present study …

The neuropeptide galanin is widely expressed in the nervous system and has an important
role in nociception. It has been shown that galanin can facilitate and inhibit nociception in a …

Galanin is a 29-amino-acid neuropeptide that has been implicated in the processes of
nociception. This study examines the effect of exogenous galanin on dorsal horn neurone …

Human dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) were obtained during various procedures and processed
for single and double in situ hybridisation using oligonucleotide probes complementary to …

We have undertaken a series of experiments using galanin null mutant mice to better define
the role of endogenous galanin in spinal excitability following inflammation and in response …
