Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic peptide predominantly expressed in the hypothalamus of mammals. This peptide modulates the stress response and regulates many goal-oriented behaviors in the rat brain. MCH mRNA and peptides generated from the precursor, namely MCH and neuropeptide (N) glutamic acid (E) isoleucine (I) amide (NEI), were also found in rodent peripheral tissues including those in adult testis. 3, record 1, English, - melanin%2Dconcentrating%20hormone

Galanin is a 29 aa C-terminally amidated (30 aa, non-amidated in humans), highly conserved but unique neuroendocrine peptide originally isolated from intestine. The first 14 aa are fully conserved in almost all species. Galanin is found in the brain and the gut. It modulates a variety of physiological processed including cognition/memory, sensory/pain processing, neurotransmitter/hormone secretion, and feeding behavior. 3, record 2, English, - galanin

Serial sectioning to obtain a three dimensional reconstruction of the cardiac conduction system, followed by identification of the pattern of innervation by immunohistochemical and enzyme histochemical techniques; with a panel of antisera against protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 as a general neural indicator; dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) as indicators for sympathetic neural tissue; and selected neuropeptides--namely, neuropeptide Y (NPY), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), and substance P (SP). Gomori's technique was used for locating cholinesterase activity. 2, record 3, English, - neuropeptide%20Y
