title: Overlapping peptide control of alcohol self-administration and feeding.
abstract: This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2003 annual meeting of the Research Society on Alcoholism in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The organizers and chairpersons were Mark Egli and Todd E. Thiele. The presentations were (1) Voluntary alcohol consumption is modulated by central melanocortin receptors, by Todd E. Thiele; (2) Central infusion of neuropeptide Y reduces alcohol drinking in alcohol-preferring P rats, by Robert B. Stewart and Nancy E. Badia-Elder; (3) The gut peptide cholecystokinin controls alcohol intake in Sardinian alcohol-preferring rats, by Nori Geary and Maurizio Massi; and (4) Hypothalamic galanin: a possible role in excess alcohol drinking, by Sarah F. Leibowitz and Bartley G. Hoebel.
