摘要
We examined the galanin-like peptide (GALP) gene expression in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and posterior pituitary (PP) in 6- and 18-week-old male obese falfa rats. GALP mRNA in the ARC in falfa rats was significantly decreased in 6- and 18-week-old and GALP mRNA in the PP in falfa rats was significantly increased in 18-week-old compared to lean Fal? rats. Insulin treatment in hyperglycemic falfa rats partially reversed those changes. These results suggest that the GALP gene expression in falfa rats might be regulated in part by leptin-independent mechanisms. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
