★Assistant Professor Fujii, Professor Nishiyasu et al. revealed galanin receptors modualte cutaneous vasodilation responses
Research results by Assistant Professor Naoto Fujii and Professor Takeshi Nishiyasu have been published in the international journal “European Journal of Pharmacology.”
Galanin receptor subtypes GAL1, GAL2, and GAL3 are involved in several biological functions. We confirmed that while none of the galanin receptors modulate sweating during whole-body heating, GAL1 receptors mediate cutaneous vasodilation. Further, GAL3 receptors blunt cutaneous vasodilation during local heating.
