Abstract excerpt
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is expressed in the arcuate nucleus and is implicated in the neuroendocrine regulation of metabolism and reproduction. To investigate the physiological significance of GALP, we generated and characterized a strain of mice with a genetically targeted deletion in the GALP gene [GALP knockout (KO) mice]. We report that GALP KO mice have a subtle, but notable, metabolic phenotype that...
