The neuropeptide galanin was first discovered 30 years ago. Today, the galanin family
consists of galanin, galanin-like peptide (GALP), galanin-message associated peptide …

Galanin is widely distributed in the nervous system and is consistently upregulated in both
dorsal root ganglion and spinal neurones by peripheral nerve injury. This study investigates …

Galanin message-associated peptide (GMAP), a 60 amino acid fragment of galanin
precursor protein, is present in dorsal root ganglion cells and upon intrathecal (it) …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biological role of galanin in normal and
neuropathic states. Injuries to peripheral nerves in man are associated with a range of …

The three galanin receptor subtypes (GalR1–3) belong to the G protein-coupled receptor
superfamily. The widespread distribution of galanin and its receptors in the CNS and PNS …

The discrete distribution and possible changes in specific [125I] galanin binding sites were
evaluated in the rat spinal cord following neonatal capsaicin treatment, dorsal rhizotomy and …

Since the discovery of galanin (GAL) in 1983 (Tatemoto et al., 1983) numerous anatomical,
physiological and pharmacological investigations have demonstrated that the peptide is …

Single ligature nerve constriction (SLNC) is a newly developed animal model for the study of
neuropathic pain. SLNC of the rat sciatic nerve induces pain-related behaviors, as well as …

Expression of the neuropeptide galanin is markedly up‐regulated within the adult dorsal root
ganglia (DRG) following peripheral nerve injury. We have previously demonstrated that …

The galanin peptide family and its three receptors have with compelling evidence been
implicated in several high-order physiological disorders. The co-localization with other …
