Further characterization of the extra-arcuate alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone-like material in hypothalamus: Biochemical and anatomical studies
(Elsevier, 1986-04)
Previous studies had shown the existence of an extra-arcuate cell group in lateral hypothalamus which contains alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH)-like immunoreactivity, but no other pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) ...
Immunocytochemistry of the C-terminal peptide of propressophysin (CPP): Relationship to vasopressin, oxytocin and neurophysin
(Elsevier, 1983-07)
Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) and its associated neurophysin (AVP-NP) are synthesized via a precursor, propressophysin, which also contains a 39 amino acid glycopeptide at its C-terminus (C-terminus of propressophysin, or ...
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 ...
Effects of contextual or olfactory cues previously paired with morphine withdrawal on behavior and pain sensitivity in the rat
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-08)
Rationale: Pavlovian conditioning processes have been accorded an important role in maintaining persistent opiate administration. At least one locus for this contribution is during opiate withdrawal. These experiments ...
Differential development of behavioral tolerance and the subsequent hedonic effects of alcohol in AA and ANA rats
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-09)
Rationale: There at least two ways in which tolerance development to alcohol's behavioral effects could interact with its subsequent intake: 1) tolerance to alcohol's reward or reinforcing effects per se could lead to ...
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 ...
Expression of behavioral sensitization to ethanol by DBA/2J mice: the role of NMDA and non-NMDA glutamate receptors
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-05)
Rationale. Behavioral sensitization has been accorded a central role in contemporary theories of drug addiction. Accordingly, a substantial effort has been made to determine the processes mediating sensitization to ...
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 ...
Autonomic and psychic effects of yohimbine hydrochloride
(Springer-Verlag, 1961-03)
Yohimbine in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg has been given to 51 male mental hospital subjects and nine normal volunteers.
