Tumor galanin content was measured in extracts from human pituitary adenomas using a
specific RIA method for monitoring human galanin. Twenty-two out of twenty-four tumors …

Galanin is a 29-amino acid neuropeptide widely distributed in the central nervous system.
Galanin-like immunoreactivity (galanin-LI) was investigated in 23 nontumorous human …

Galanin immunoreactivity was measured by RIA, using antibodies directed against both the
non-C-and C-terminal positions of porcine galanin, in tissue extracts of normal adrenals and …

Galanin is a neuropeptide that regulates the secretion of several pituitary hormones,
including prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH). Galaninlike immunoreactivity (Gal-IR) …

Galanin is widely distributed throughout the rat neural and endocrine system. The highest
concentrations are found in the anterior pituitary, and it can influence classical pituitary …

The distribution of galanin messenger (mRNA) and galanin-like immunoreactivity (Gal-LI) in
the anterior and posterior pituitaries of control and estrogen-implanted female rats was …

The aim of our study was to elucidate the physiological role of the neuropeptide galanin in
the regulation of anterior pituitary function in human subjects. Six healthy men (age range 26 …

Galanin is a peptide widely distributed throughout vertebrate central and peripheral nervous
systems. Although its precise physiologic role is unknown, it can stimulate the pituitary …

The effects of the peptide galanin on growth hormone secretion were studied in vitro using
cultured rat and human anterior pituitary cells, and in vivo by iv administration of galanin in …

Galanin, a novel neuropeptide/hypothalamic hormone originally identified and isolated by
virtue of its carboxyterminal amide group, has recently been shown to have a diverse range …
