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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
