abstract：:The binding activity of several galanin fragments and analogs was measured on specific receptors present in rat brain and the rat pancreatic beta cell line Rin m 5F. In both tissues it was observed that: 1) galanin(3-29), galanin(10-29) and [Ile2]-galanin were ineffective for inhibiting [125I] galanin binding and 2) a...
