The purpose of our experiment was to study plasma immunoreactive galanin in the @entity35 after swimming. Four groups of @entity35 were used. At rest, one group was studied after an intravenous injection of @entity413 while another group received a corresponding saline injection. The two remaining groups, treated respectively with @entity413 and saline, were investigated after a 30-min swimming session. After 30 min of rest in their respective cages, or after swimming, the animals were anesthetized for immediate blood sampling. The main observation was that plasma galanin was higher after swimming than after rest only in @entity413 -treated @entity35 , in the vena cava (11.82 +/- 2.90 vs. 5.05 +/- 1.65 pM) and the portal vein (15.75 +/- 3.74 vs. 6.58 +/- 1.75 pM). Both saline- and @entity413 -treated groups had a significant increase of plasma @entity1063 from rest to swimming in the vena cava. A decrease of plasma insulin was observed in the portal vein of exercised @entity413 -treated @entity35 , while plasma @entity413 was higher in the portal vein of this group. In conclusion, after swimming, plasma galanin level was increased only in @entity413 -treated @entity35 . A significant correlation was also observed between plasma galanin and @entity413 (r = 0.69, p < 0.01), suggesting that the presence of @entity413 is necessary to induce galanin liberation during exercise.
