We investigate the relation between the central velocity dispersion, σc, and the circular velocity, Vcirc, in galaxies. in addition to previously obtained data, we consider an observationally homogeneus sample of 52 high surface brightness and 11 low surface brightness spiral galaxies. We performed a straight line regression analysis in a linear scale, finding a good fit, also for low σc galaxies, always rejected in the previous studies. Low surface brightness galaxies seem to behave differently, showing either higher values of Vcirc or lower values of σc with respect to their high surface brightness counterparts.
