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 ...
Binding of 3H-[beta]-endorphin to rat brain membranes: Characterization of opiate properties and interaction with ACTH
(Elsevier, 1980-05-30)
The binding of tritiated [beta]-endorphin (3H-[beta]-EP) to brain homogenates is described. This had been difficult to achieve due to the lack of availability of 3H-[beta]-EP and to technical difficulties associated with ...
[alpha]-MSH in rat brain: occurence within and outside of [beta]-endorphin neurons
(Elsevier, 1980-01-20)
[3H]dynorphin a binding and [kappa] selectivity of prodynorphin peptides in rat, guinea-pig and monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1986-03-04)
We have previously demonstrated that [3H]dynorphin A selectively labels [kappa] opioid receptors in guinea-pig whole brain. In these current studies, using protection from inactivation by [beta]-chloronaltrexamine ([beta]-CNA), ...
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 ...
POMC in rhesus anterior pituitary and plasma: Evidence of N-acetylated [beta]-endorphin and [alpha]-MSH
(Elsevier, 1983)
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) related peptides have been studied in rat tissue and plasma, but they have not been well characterized in the rhesus monkey. Since monkey pituitary may be more similar to the human pituitary ...
