Male Sexual Behavior
2015, Knobil and Neill's Physiology of Reproduction: Two-Volume SetNeuropeptides and central control of sexual behaviour from the past to the present: A review
2013, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Galanin, like neuropeptide Y, is highly concentrated in the hypothalamus, the amygdaloid complex and the brainstem and coexists with several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides (for a review see Bartfai, 1995), increases feeding when injected into the PVN (see Crawley et al., 1990 and references therein) and inhibits sexual behaviour of sexually active male rats when given into the lateral ventricles (Poggioli et al., 1992). Accordingly, galantide, a putative galanin receptor antagonist, given into the lateral ventricles facilitates male sexual behaviour (Benelli et al., 1994a). At variance from the above studies, galanin injected into the sexually dimorphic medial preoptic nucleus facilitates male and female sexual behaviour in the rat (Bloch et al., 1993, 1996).
