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 ...
The presence of Galanin and Neuropeptide Y and/or their receptors in several areas of the brain involved in memory, mood, cardiovascular control and food intake indicates that Galanin, and Neuropeptide Y could equilibrate the physiological actions of each other. There is evidence for the existence of interactions between Galanin Receptor and Neuropeptide Y Receptor in the nucleus of the solitar...
Galanin is a 29-amino acid peptide that is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Leptin is a hormone secreted from adipose tissue and the gut and other tissues. In this study, using an in vitro neonatal rat preparation, we investigated the gastric effects of galanin and its interaction with leptin on n...
The expression of the neuropeptide galanin is markedly up-regulated in many areas of the central and peripheral nervous system after injury. We have recently demonstrated that peripheral sensory neurons depend on galanin for neurite extension after injury, mediated by activation of the second galanin receptor subtype (GALR2). We therefore hypothesized that galanin might also act in a similar ma...
It is thought that galanin, a 29 amino acid neuropeptide, is involved in various neuronal functions, including the regulation of food intake and hormone release. Consistent with this idea, galanin receptors have been demonstrated throughout the brain, with high levels being observed in the hypothalamus. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which galanin elicits its actions in the br...
The neuropeptide galanin has been recognized as a possible neurotransmitter/neuromodulator, and in addition has been implicated in anxiety- and depression-related behaviors. The present study demonstrates increased locomotion and rearing after galanin (0.3mg/kg) that was given intraperitoneally (i.p.) to intact Wistar rats which were tested 1h later in the open field (OF). These effects, which ...
Stimulation of canine hepatic nerves releases the neuropeptide galanin from the liver; therefore, galanin may be a sympathetic neurotransmitter in the dog liver. To test this hypothesis, we used immunocytochemistry to determine if galanin is localized in hepatic sympathetic nerves and we used hepatic sympathetic denervation to verify such localization. Liver sections from dogs were immunostaine...
The neuropeptide galanin has been shown to suppress epileptic seizures. In cortical and hippocampal areas, galanin is normally mainly expressed in noradrenergic afferents. We have generated a mouse overexpressing galanin in neurons under the platelet-derived growth factor B promoter. RIA and HPLC analysis revealed up to 8-fold higher levels of galanin in transgenic as compared with wild-type mi...
The role of the neuropeptide galanin in the regulation of anterior pituitary function was studied in vivo in conscious male rats and in vitro with cultured anterior pituitary cells. Galanin (50-200 ng; 15-60 pmol) injected into the third cerebral ventricle of rats produced highly significant, dose-related increases of plasma growth hormone (GH) concentrations, whereas galanin increased prolacti...
In order to further investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate oligodendrocyte (OC) survival, we utilized microarrays to characterize changes in OC gene expression after exposure to the cytokines neurotrophin3, insulin, or leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in vitro. We identified and validated the induction and secretion of the neuropeptide galanin in OCs, specifically in response to LIF...
