Galanin-like peptide links metabolism and reproduction
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, October 25th, 2004
"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 actions are unique to GALP, such as long-term inhibition of food intake and stimulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in male rats," an investigator in the United States reports.
"GALP...
