Effects of galnon, a non-peptide galanin-receptor agonist, on insulin release from rat pancreatic islets.
Galanin is a neurotransmitter peptide that suppresses insulin secretion. The present study aimed at investigating how a non-peptide galanin receptor agonist, galnon, affects insulin secretion from isolated pancreatic islets of healthy Wistar and diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. Galnon stimulated insulin release potently in isolated Wistar rat islets; 100 microM of the compound increased the re...
متن کاملGo2 G protein mediates galanin inhibitory effects on insulin release from pancreatic β cells.
The neuropeptide galanin regulates numerous physiological activities in the body, including feeding and metabolism, learning and memory, nociception and spinal reflexes, and anxiety and related behaviors. Modulation of blood glucose levels by suppressing insulin release was the first reported activity for galanin. This inhibition was mediated by one or more pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins ...
متن کاملGalanin regulates prolactin release and lactotroph proliferation.
The neuropeptide galanin is predominantly expressed by the lactotrophs (the prolactin secreting cell type) in the rodent anterior pituitary and in the median eminence and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. Prolactin and galanin colocalize in the same secretory granule, the expression of both proteins is extremely sensitive to the estrogen status of the animal. The administration of es...
متن کاملPerspectives in Diabetes The Succinate Mechanism of Insulin Release
Nutrient secretagogues can increase the production of succinyl-CoA in rat pancreatic islets. When succinate esters are the secretagogue, succinyl-CoA can be generated via the succinate thiokinase reaction. Other secretagogues can increase production of succinyl-CoA secondary to increasing -ketoglutarate production by glutamate dehydrogenase or mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase followed b...
متن کاملGalanin regulation of LH release in male rats.
The present study examines the role of cerebroventricular administered (IIIrd ventricle) galanin on LHRH and LH release in adult and immature male rats. In both age groups, galanin stimulated LHRH synthesis and release from the hypothalamus, leading to a higher release of pituitary LH which in turn increased plasma LH levels. Galantide, a galanin receptor blocker, on the other hand, drastically...
