Galanin is a paracrine inhibitor of gonadotroph function in the female rat.

Endocrinology 39 , 4222-4229, (1998)

Recent evidence suggests that pituitary galanin synthesized in the lactotroph is a paracrine regulator of lactotroph proliferation and PRL secretion and that these effects are mediated via a pituitary-specific galanin receptor, GAL-R2(orig.). At this receptor...

The GalR2 galanin receptor mediates galanin-induced jejunal contraction, but not feeding behavior, in the rat: differentiation of central and peripheral effects of receptor subtype activation.

FEBS Lett. 434 , 277-82, (1998)

The neuropeptide galanin mediates a diverse array of physiological functions through activation of specific receptors. Roles of the three recently cloned galanin receptors (GalRs) in rat intestinal contraction and food intake were examined using GalR-selectiv...

Pharmacological characterization of the contractile effects of galanin (1-29)-NH2, galantide and galanin (1-14)-(alpha-aminobutyric acid8)scyliorhinin-I in the rat gastric fundus.

Fundam. Clin. Pharmacol. 11 , 576, (1997)

Porcine galanin (1-29)-NH2, galantide (M15) and galanin (1-14)-(alpha-aminobutyric acid8)-scyliorhinin-I used in concentrations of 300, 1,000 and 3,000 nM respectively caused contractions of rat fundus strips. The contractile responses to galanin(1-29)-NH2 we...
