Postnatal ontogeny of acetylated and non-acetylated B-endorphin in rat pituitary
(Elsevier, 1983)
Extracts of the anterior lobe and intermediate lobe of postnatal (P) (Day P1, P7, P14, P21, P28, P35, P42) and adult male Spraque-Dawley rats were analyzed by both a Beta-endorphin (B-END) radioimmunoassay and a radioimmunoassay ...
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 ...
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 ...
Increase in delta, but not mu, receptors in MSG-treated rats
(Elsevier, 1982-09)
Neonatal treatment of rats with Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) has been demonstrated to destroy cell bodies of neurons in the arcuate nucleus including the brain beta-endorphin (B-END) system. The effects on opiate receptors ...
Anatomical relationship between opioid peptides and receptors in rhesus monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
To determine whether opioid peptide-receptor pharmacological associations found in vitro (e.g., enkephalin-[delta], dynorphin-[kappa]) predict anatomical relationships in situ, immunocytochemical and receptor autoradiographic ...
Some of the [alpha]-NH2-acetylated [beta]-endoprhin-like material in rat and monkey pituitary and brain is acetylated [alpha]- and [beta]-endorphin
(Elsevier, 1983)
There are several studies demonstrating the existence of [alpha]-NH2-acetylated (N-Ac) forms of [beta]-endorphin in the intermediate lobe of several species (1,4,6). These include N-Ac-[beta]-endorphin(1-31), N-Ac-[beta] ...
Paradoxical effect of corticosteroids on pituitary ACTH/[beta]-endorphin release in stressed animals
(Elsevier, 1988)
We have previously demonstrated a number of changes in the anterior lobe proopiomelanocortin (POMC) system in chronically stressed rats. The purpose of the present experiments was to investigate whether chronically stressed ...
Localization of neurons containing pro-opiomelanocortin-related peptides in the hypothalamus and midbrain of the lizard, Anolis carolinensis evidence for region-specific processing of [beta]-endorphin
(Elsevier, 1984-12-24)
Immunohistochemical analyses of the lizard brain, following colchicine pretreatment, revealed two populations of POMC-producing cell bodies located in medial-basal hypothalamus and the mesencephalic tegmentum. Analyses of ...
Pharmacological and anatomical evidence of selective [mu], [delta], and [chi] opioid receptor binding in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1986-12-03)
While the distribution of opioid receptors can be differentiated in the rat central nervous system, their precise localization has remained controversial, due, in part, to the previous lack of selective ligands and insensitive ...
Tritiated ethylketocyclazocine binding in rat brain: Differential distribution of binding sites across brain regions
(Elsevier, 1982-09)
In rat brain, 3H-EKC shows a relative regional distribution of binding which parallels that of 3H-morphine. Dynorphin(1-13) has a pattern similar to morphine and dissimilar to EKC in displacing the three labels. Dynorphin(1-13) ...
