A role for galanin-like peptide in the integration of feeding, body weight regulation, and reproduction in the mouse
(Endocrine Society, 2003-03)Galanin-like peptide (GALP) shares sequence homology with galanin and binds to galanin receptors in vitro. GALP neurons in the arcuate nucleus coexpress leptin receptors, and GALP mRNA expression is up-regulated ...
