Acute effects of high-dose thyrotropin releasing hormone infusions in Alzheimer's disease
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-07)
Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) was administered intravenously to ten patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in a high-dose paradigm, thought to maximize central nervous system effects and potentially produce facilitation ...
Age effects in serial hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal monitoring
(Elsevier, 1986)
To evaluate age effects on hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal (HPA) regulation in depressives, we studied 65 patients with major depressive disorder, endogenous subtype. With each patient serving as his or her own control, ...
Circadian fluctuation of plasma epinephrine in supine humans
(Elsevier, 1987)
Previous studies have demonstrated circadian fluctuations of systemic catecholamines in man. However, methodological differences and conflicting results with epinephrine are apparent. In the present study, plasma and urinary ...
The degradation of dynorphin A in brain tissue in vivo and in vitro
(Elsevier, 1987)
The demonstration of analgesia following in vivo administration of dynorphin A (Dyn A) has been difficult. In contrast, a number of electrophysiological and behavioral effects reported with in vivo injection of Dyn A can ...
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 ...
