A paradoxical role for alarin in the nervous control of energy homeostasis and thermoregulation: orexigenic but hypermetabolic

Alarin is a lately discovered member of the galanin family of peptides. Although it has orexigenic effects in the brain, alarin induces thermoregulatory responses, which promote an increase of core temperature in rats. With some delay intracerebroventricular injections of alarin causes a 15% rise in...

description Alarin is a lately discovered member of the galanin family of peptides. Although it has orexigenic effects in the brain, alarin induces thermoregulatory responses, which promote an increase of core temperature in rats. With some delay intracerebroventricular injections of alarin causes a 15% rise in metabolic rate at an ambient temperature of 25°C and a pronounced fall in tail skin temperature, i.e. peripheral vasoconstriction, at 28°C.
