Effect of galanin on aromataze gene expression and estradiol 17-β concentrations in ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic area

Namdar F. , Khazali H.

The goal of this study was to determine whether galanin increase aromataze gene expressions and estradiol 17-β concentrations in ventromedial (VMH) and lateral hypothalamic area (LH). Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups. Animals in different groups were received either saline, 1, 2 or 4 ng galanin into their VMH and LH. After infusion of galanin, VMH and LH tissue were separated and homogenized. Homogenized sample were assayed for aromataze gene expression b...
