becomes an important health problem. The multifactorial etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus …

Background: Obesity is strongly linked to metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes
mellitus and hyperlipidemia. Experimental evidences indicate that galanin (GAL) and …

Galanin is a multifunctional neuropeptide that is implicated in the modulation of

Results: In 'Berlin fat mice', 51 days of green tea treatment did not only prevent fat
accumulation (control: day 0: 30.5% fat, day 51: 33.1%; NS) but also reduced significant …

Our previous studies testified the beneficial effect of central galanin on insulin sensitivity of
type 2 diabetic rats. The aim of the study was further to investigate whether central M617, a …

Given that both prolactin and galanin take part in the regulation of energy homeostasis and
that galanin is localized within lactotrophs, this study was aimed at comparing the pituitary …

Food is consumed to obtain energy but also for its pleasant sensory properties. Food
consumption that is driven by motivation to gain hedonic simulation poses a challenge to the …

Feeding behavior and its associated neural circuitry is complex and intricate in mammalian
