GAL and colitis: Moreover, because single‐cell RNA‐sequencing data demonstrate coexpression of GalR1 with receptors for certain inflammatory mediators (e.g., bradykinin and 5‐hydroxytryptamine) and ion channels such as Trpv1 that are modulated by inflammatory mediators (Hockley et al., 2019), we wanted to determine if galanin could suppress mechanical hypersensitivity induced by inflammatory mediators and extend this to an in vivo model of acute colitis.
