Galanin was first identified 30 years ago as a" classic neuropeptide," with actions primarily
as a modulator of neurotransmission in the brain and peripheral nervous system. Other …

The galanin peptide family consists of the “parental” galanin, galanin-message-associated
peptide (GMAP) which derives from the same peptide precursor gene product as galanin …

The KiSS-1 gene codes for a family of neuropeptides called kisspeptins which bind to the G-
protein-coupled receptor GPR54. To assess the possible effects of kisspeptins on …

A recently described avian neuropeptide, gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH), has been
shown to have seasonal regulatory effects on the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadotropin axis …

Neuropeptides released by hypothalamic neurons play a major role in the regulation of
feeding, acting both within the hypothalamus, and at other appetite regulating centres …

Energy balance is maintained via a homeostatic system involving both the brain and the
periphery. A key component of this system is the hypothalamus. Over the past two decades …

Galanin-like peptide (GALP) was discovered in 1999 in the porcine hypothalamus and was
found to be a 60 amino acid neuropeptide. GALP shares sequence homology to galanin (1 …

Galanin-like peptide (GALP) has been implicated in the neuroendocrine regulation of both
feeding and reproduction. In male rodents and primates, intracerebroventricular (icv) …

Alarin is a newly identified member of the galanin family of neuropeptides that includes
galanin-like peptide (GALP) and galanin. Alarin was discovered as an alternate transcript of …

The arcuate nucleus is a hypothalamic center that couples energetics and reproduction.
Peptide-releasing neurons in the arcuate nucleus receive and process humoral signals from …
