Studies on the regulation of galanin expression in the epithelial cells of the anterior pituitary
gland have provided a wealth of insight into the cellular and molecular biology of this unique …

The ability of the estrogen receptor signaling pathway to regulate cell-cell adhesion, and N-
cadherin and β-catenin expression was examined in rat somatolactotropic GH 3 cells …

Human galanin receptor subtypes GALR1, GALR2, and GALR3 are encoded by separate
genes that are located on human chromosomes 18q23, 17q25. 3, and 22q13. 1 …

Studies evaluating estrogen-induced anterior pituitary tumors revealed a strong direct
correlation between expression of the peptide galanin and tumor growth. To evaluate further …

Our previous studies have shown the presence of substantial amounts of substance P and
calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactive nerve fibres in the anterior pituitary of …

Thyroid hormone is required for basal and estrogen-induced expression of anterior pituitary
galanin. Steady-state anterior pituitary galanin mRNA levels decreased 6-fold in hypothyroid …

Intravenous injection of galanin increases plasma growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL)
concentrations. In the rat, the effects of galanin on GH appear to be mediated via the …

To further investigate how sex steroids regulate galanin (GAL) in the rat pituitary and
hypothalamus, we examined the effects of prepubertal gonadectomy (Gx) and long‐term (9 …

Galanin, a 29-aminoacid peptide (30 in humans), is widely distributed in the nervous and
endocrine systems and exerts its actions via three G-protein-coupled receptors, GalR1–3 …

While the pituitary galanin gene is highly responsive to oestrogen stimulation in vivo, in vitro
effects of oestrogens on pituitary galanin gene expression have been less studied. We …
