Orexigenic peptides and alcohol intake: differential effects of orexin, galanin, and ghrelin.

Author
Abstract
:

The question is which hypothalamic systems for food intake might play a role in ethanol intake and contribute to alcohol abuse. The peptide orexin was found to exhibit similar properties to galanin in its relation to dietary fat and may therefore be similar to galanin in having a stimulatory effect on alcohol intake.
