Immunocytochemical localization of pro-opiomelanocortin-derived peptides in the adult rat spinal cord
(Elsevier, 1986-07-16)
A dispersed descending pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) fiber system has been demonstrated by peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) immunocytochemistry in the adult rat spinal cord. [beta]-endorphin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone ...
Enkephalinase: Selective inhibitors and partial characterization
(Elsevier, 1980)
There are at least two types of enzymes in brain, endopeptidases and aminopeptidases, which metabolize enkephalins. Evidence is presented to suggest that enkephalinase, an endopeptidase cleaving at the Gly-Phe bond, is ...
Nicotine and the central nervous system: Biobehavioral effects of cigarette smoking
(Elsevier, 1992-07-15)
The effects of nicotine, like those of other drugs with potential for abuse and dependence, are centrally mediated. The impact of nicotine on the central nervous system is neuroregulatory in nature, affecting biochemical ...
The NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 increases morphine catalepsy and lethality
(Elsevier, 1991-03)
Interactions between excitatory amino acids and opioids were examined by studying the ability of the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801 to affect morphine catalepsy and lethality. MK-801 ...
A sensitive coupled HPLC/RIA technique for separation of endorphins: Multiple forms of B-endorphin in rat pituitary intermediate vs. anterior lobe
(Elsevier, 1981-08)
A technique is described which couples High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to radioimmuno assays (RIA), thus achieving high sensitivity with good specificity. This method allows the separation and detection of ...
The effects of menstrual phase and nicotine abstinence on nicotine intake and on biochemical and subjective measures in women smokers: a A preliminary report
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Nicotine intake, menstrual and smoking withdrawal symptomatology, and baseline cortisol and MHPG were assessed in nine women smokers under conditions of ad lib smoking and overnight abstinence in three menstrual phases ...
Proopiomelanocortin peptide immunocytochemistry in rhesus monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
The immunocytochemical distribution of Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptides ([beta]-endorphin, ACTH, [alpha]-MSH, 16K fragment) was studied in the brain of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). Some animals were administered ...
Sequential electrodiagnostic abnormalities in acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1985-07)
We reviewed 180 electroneuromyographic (EMG) studies from patients with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. EMG criteria suggestive of demyelination were met during the first 5 weeks in 87% of patients; ...
Cognitive-behavioral intervention for distress in patients with melanoma
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-08-15)
BACKGROUND Melanoma accounts for > 79% of skin cancer-related deaths, although it accounts for only 4% of skin cancer incidence. Given the potential for lethality, it is likely that patients with melanoma may experience ...
