Role of galanin and galanin(1-15) on central cardiovascular control.

abstract：:Using canine spleen and lung membranes as model systems, we have shown the presence of subtypes of ETB receptors. This classification was done based on the binding profiles of various analogs of ET-1 that have been identified as ETB-selective. Saturation binding experiments performed with [125I] ET-3 and [125I] IRL-12...
