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 …

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

The effects of galanin and galanin fragments have been studied on neurons in various brain
regions of rodents using electrophysiological techniques. Here, we mainly review reports …

The distribution of cells containing galanin mRNA and that of galanin receptor binding sites
were investigated using in situ hybridization histochemistry and receptor autoradiography in …

Galanin may act in the regulation of reproduction and feeding behaviour through a direct
action on arcuate nucleus (ARC) neurones but evidence for a postsynaptic action is absent …

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

Synthetic fragments of galanin 1–29 were administered intraventricularly or into the
paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus for analysis of the critical amino acid sequence …

Two peptide antagonists of the galanin receptor, M40 (galanin [1–13]-Pro-Pro-[Ala-Leu] 2-
Ala amide) and C7 (galanin [1–13]-spantide amide), significantly inhibited galanin-induced …

In the rat hypothalamic magnocellular neurons, galanin coexists with vasopressin and might
be involved in hydro-osmotic regulation. In the present study, we investigated the ability of …

Galanin is a neuropeptide widely expressed in the central nervous system and periphery. In
rat, three galanin-binding receptors have been cloned and characterized. We report the …
