Galanin-like peptide rescues reproductive function in the diabetic rat.
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is expressed in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and is regulated by leptin and insulin. Centrally administered GALP stimulates gonadotropin secretion and sexual behavior in the rat. Type 1 diabetes is associated with reduced expression of GALP, as well as an overall decline in reproductive function. We postulated that tonic activity of GALP in the brain is required ...
متن کاملDistribution of galanin-like peptide in the rat brain.
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is a novel galanin-like peptide isolated from the porcine hypothalamus. To determine the distribution of GALP in the rat brain, we performed immunohistochemical studies using a monoclonal antibody toward the N-terminal sequence of GALP. GALP-immunoreactive neuronal cell bodies were observed only in the arcuate nucleus (Arc), which was further confirmed by in situ hyb...
متن کاملGalanin and galanin-like peptide differentially modulate neuronal activities in rat arcuate nucleus neurons.
Neuropeptides galanin and galanin-like peptide (GALP) share similar amino acid sequence and presumably interact with the same group of receptors, but they differentially regulate a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes including metabolism and reproduction. Here we explored the neurophysiological basis of the in vivo differential effect between galanin and GALP by examining ...
متن کاملStimulation of sexual behavior in the male rat by galanin-like peptide.
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is a recently described neuropeptide, which shares a partial sequence identity with galanin but is derived from a separate gene. Central injections of GALP stimulate the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) and induce the expression of Fos in several brain areas known to regulate male sexual behavior in the rat. We postulate...
متن کاملGalanin-like peptide as a link between metabolism and reproduction.
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that binds and activates galanin receptors in vitro. Following the discovery of GALP, researchers have attempted to properly place it in the context of galanin receptor physiology. Central injections of GALP have revealed some common actions with galanin, such as acutely increased food intake and suppression of the thyroid axis. Other a...
