Chang et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1995
(Neuroendocrine Tumors) :
The effect of galanin on CCK secretion was studied in a CCK producing murine neuroendocrine tumor cell line, STC-1 ... The results indicated galanin regulates CCK secretion by modulation of K+ ATP and cAMP production through receptors coupled to a PTX-sensitive G protein
Björkstrand et al., Neuroreport 1993
:
Effect of galanin on plasma levels of oxytocin and cholecystokinin ... The possible mechanisms by which galanin causes a decrease in oxytocin and an increase in CCK levels are discussed
Meister et al., Neuroreport 1993
:
The effect of GAL on the release of vasopressin, oxytocin and cholecystokinin (CCK) from rat neural lobes was investigated using an in vitro method ... In contrast, GAL ( 10 ( -6 ) M ) significantly stimulated basal and K ( + ) -stimulated release of CCK ... The data suggest a stimulatory role of GAL on CCK release via a paracrine effect on neighbouring oxytocin-CCK containing nerve fibres
