Abstract excerpt
The peptide galanin has been implicated in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction and energy balance. To gain more insight into the functional significance of galanin in these processes, we studied the phenotype of mice that either overexpress galanin in the brain under the control of the dopamine beta-hydroxylase promoter (GALTG) or have a complete absence of galanin expression (GALKO). Both GALTGs and...
