Behavioral effects of dynorphin1-13 in the mouse and rat: Initial observations
(Elsevier, 1980)
Dynorphin is a recently identified, pharmacologically potent endogenous opioid peptide. Heretofore it has not been characterized for its behavioral effects. The effects of centrally infused dynorphin upon a variety of ...
[D-Ala2,(F5)Phe4]-dynorphin1-13-NH2 (DAFPHEDYN): A potent analog of dynorphin 1-13
(Elsevier, 1987)
Intracerebroventricular administration of the dynorphin analog, [D-Ala2,(F5)Phe4]-dynorphin1-13-NH2 (DAFPHEDYN) in rats produced diuresis and profound analgesia. Both effects were antagonized by central administration of ...
Gamma-melanotropin response to ovine corticotropin releasing factor in normal humans
(Elsevier, 1987)
Plasma [gamma]-melanotropin was measured by a [gamma]3MSH-specific radioimmunoassay before and after a single bolus intravenous infusion of ovine corticotropin releasing factor (oCRF; 0.1 ug/kg) in seven normal men. A ...
Interaction of opiate peptide and noradrenalin systems: Light microscopic studies
(Elsevier, 1980)
In this light microscopic immunocyto-chemical study [beta]-Endorphin ([beta]-END), leu-enkephalin and dopamine-[beta]hydroxylase (DBH) antisera are used to obtain an overview of the interaction of the noradrenergic and ...
Phobic anxiety does not affect plasma levels of thyroid stimulating hormone in man
(Elsevier, 1982)
(1) The effect of anxiety on plasma levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is not clear, despite a number of relevant studies. (2) Nine human subjects with severe phobias had blood samples taken for TSH assay every ...
Endocrine and physiological changes during "spontaneous" panic attacks
(Elsevier, 1987)
Eight patients with DSM-III-defined panic attacks were compared to four normal subjects on hormonal and physiological variables measured at six predetermined times through 24 hr and also during nine "spontaneous" attacks. ...
Neuroregulatory effects of nicotine
(Elsevier, 1989)
The impact of nicotine on the central nervous system is, in an important sense, neuroregulatory, with cascading effects on physiological and biochemical function as well as on behavioral activity. Accordingly, the ...
Analysis of opioid and non-opioid end products of pro-dynorphin in the substantia nigra of the rat
(Elsevier, 1985-02)
The substantia nigra is among the richest pro-dynorphin terminal field regions in the rat brain. We therefore contrasted processing in this area to the known processing in the posterior pituitary. Fractionation of acid ...
In situ hybridization histochemistry with synthetic oligonucleotides: Strategies and methods
(Elsevier, 1985)
In situ hybridization histochemistry is a useful method for localizing specific mRNA and studying the regulation of gene expression in an anatomical context. Previously, classical recombinant DNA and microbiological ...
MSG effects on beta-endorphin and alpha-MSH in the hypothalamus and caudal medulla
(Elsevier, 1988)
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) was given to neonatal male rats to determine its effects on neurons containing beta-endorphin ([beta]-END) and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone ([alpha]-MSH) within the basal hypothalamus ...
