abstract：:Galanin (GAL) has recently emerged as an important neuroendocrine regulator which participates in the control of several pituitary and hypothalamic hormones. Our earlier observation that GAL stimulates LHRH release from nerve terminals of the median eminence as well as basal LH and LHRH-induced LH secretion from pitui...
