Abstract
In the present study we examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) or intraperitoneal (IP) galanin administration on food intake in satiated goldfish, at different time intervals after injections, 0-2, 2-8 and 0-8 h. We found that food intake was increased by ICV administered galanin (1 and 3.33 micrograms) at 2 and 8 h postinjection, while no modifications on feeding were observed after intraperitoneal injection in any of the studied time intervals. The galanin receptor antagonist, galantide, blocked the galanin-induced feeding increase. Pretreatment with yohimbine (alpha 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist), but not with prazosin (alpha 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist) antagonized the stimulatory effect of galanin on ingestive behavior. These results suggest that galanin is involved in the central regulation of feeding in goldfish, being the food intake stimulatory effect mediated by the alpha 2-adrenergic system.
