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 bioactive peptides galanin, spexin and kisspeptin have a common ancestral origin and
their pathophysiological roles are increasingly the subject of investigation. Evidence …

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 …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a highly conserved neuropeptide with orexigenic actions in
discrete hypothalamic nuclei that plays a role in regulating energy homeostasis. NPY …

Of the numerous neuropeptides identified in the central nervous system, only a few are
involved in the control of sexual behaviour. Among these, the most studied are oxytocin …

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

The preovulatory GnRH/LH surge depends on the presence of estradiol (E2) and is gated by
a circadian oscillator in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that causes the surge to occur …

GPR54 is a G-protein-coupled receptor, which binds kisspeptins and is widely expressed
throughout the brain. Kisspeptin–GPR54 signaling has been implicated in the regulation of …

Fertility is gated by nutrition and the availability of stored energy reserves, but the cellular
and molecular mechanisms that link energy stores and reproduction are not well …

One of the reasons that most multicellular animals survive and thrive is because of the
adaptable and plastic nature of their nervous systems. For an organism to survive, it is …
