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 ...
Galanin inhibits rat pancreatic amylase release via cholinergic suppression
(Elsevier, 1992)
The effects of galanin on pancreatic exocrine function were examined using rat pancreatic tissues. In anesthetized rats, galanin (40 [mu]g/kg/h) decreased amylase secretion stimulated by 2-deoxy glucose (5.8 +/- 0.1 vs. ...
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 ...
Immunocytochemistry of sequence-related neuropeptides in Drosophila
(Elsevier, 1993-06)
Based on structure, activity, and expression, the Drosophila drosulfakinin I peptide (DSK I; FDDY(OSO3H)GHMRFamide) is similar to the vertebrate peptide, cholecystokinin.1 Dromyosuppressin (DMS; TDVDHVFLRFamide) is an ...
Sites of synthesis of chromogranins A and B in the human brain
(Elsevier, 1992-04)
The sites of synthesis of the chromogranins A and B, and their potential processed peptides, were examined by quantitating the levels of chromogranin A and B mRNA in various regions of the human brain by Northern blot ...
