Journal ArticleDOI
Galanin — a novel biologically active peptide from porcine intestine
TL;DR: It was found that galanin consists of 29 amino acids and the complete amino acid sequence is: contract smooth muscle preparations from the rat and to cause a mild and sustained hyperglycemia in dog.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of galaninlike immunoreactivity in the rat central nervous system
TL;DR: The localization of galanin (GAL) immunoreactive (IR) neuronal structures in the rat central nervous system has been investigated by using the indirect immunofluorescence technique and structures seen in high concentrations in the hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, and spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coexistence of galanin-like immunoreactivity with catecholamines, 5- hydroxytryptamine, GABA and neuropeptides in the rat CNS
T. Melander,Tomas Hökfelt,Åke Rökaeus,A.C. Cuello,Wolfgang H. Oertel,A. Verhofstad,Menek Goldstein +6 more
TL;DR: The present results demonstrate that a GAL-like peptide is present in many systems containing other neuroactive compounds, including dopamine, norepinephrine, 5-HT, GABA, and vasopressin.
Journal ArticleDOI
A galanin-like peptide in the central nervous system and intestine of the rat.
Åke Rökaeus,T. Melander,Tomas Hökfelt,Jan M. Lundberg,Kazuhiko Tatemoto,Mats Carlquist,V. Mutt +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that GAL-like immunoreactivity occurs in wide-spread systems in the rat CNS and intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locus coeruleus neurons in the rat containing neuropeptide Y, tyrosine hydroxylase or galanin and their efferent projections to the spinal cord, cerebral cortex and hypothalamus
TL;DR: The data show that the peptide-containing locus coeruleus neurons have efferent projections to the spinal cord, hypothalamus and cerebral cortex.
