Acute systemic administration of morphine selectively increases mu opioid receptor binding in the rat brain
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
Opioid receptor binding, including the mu, delta, and kappa receptor subtypes, was compared in morphine-injected and control rats. Brain tissues were homogenized and centrifuged either one or two times prior to receptor ...
Dynorphin immunocytochemistry in the rat central nervous system
(Elsevier, 1982)
The distribution of dynorphin in the central nervous system was investigated in rats pretreated with relatively high doses (300-400 [mu]g) of colchicine administered intracerebroventricularly. To circumvent the problems ...
Immunohistochemical localization of aminopeptidase M in rat brain and periphery: Relationship of enzyme localization and enkephalin metabolism
(Elsevier, 1987)
An antiserum specific for rat aminopeptidase M has been used for the immunohistochemical localization of the enzyme in rat brain and peripheral tissues. The enzyme in brain is localized exclusively on blood vessels. Within ...
Postnatal development of ACTH and [alpha]-MSH in the medulla oblongata of rat: [alpha]-MSH is the predominant peptide
(Elsevier, 1985)
ACTH and [alpha]-MSH levels were measured by radioimmunoassays in extracts of the caudal medulla oblongata of developing rats on postnatal (P) days 1-42 at 7 day intervals, and in adult rats. From P1 to adulthood, ACTH ...
[beta]-Endorphin suppression of acute morphine abstinence in morphine dependent monkeys: Effective given intraventricularly but ineffective given intravenously
(Elsevier, 1985-07)
Six female adult monkeys were made dependent upon morphine sulfate and were implanted with a chronic indwelling needle in the lateral ventricle of the brain for sterile intraventricular injections. Both [beta]-endorphin ...
Prodynorphin peptide immunocytochemistry in rhesus monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1985)
The present study describes the immunocytochemical distribution of peptides derived from the prodynorphin precursor in the brain of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). Animals were treated with colchicine (intracerebrove ...
Somatostatin in human pancreatic and gastric juice
(Elsevier, 1981)
Considerable amounts of IRS are secreted after secretin injection in human pancreatic juice collected during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The mean IRS levels in the pancreatic juice of non-diabetic ...
Regional processing of the N- and C-terminal domains of proopiomelanocortin in monkey pituitary and brain
(Elsevier, 1988-04)
The total content and extent of processing of the [gamma]3MSH and [beta]-endorphin-containing N- and C-terminal domains of proopiomelanocortin were determined in the anterior and intermediate lobes of the pituitaries and ...
