This research examines job satisfaction among 282 staff providing mental health care to 574 patients with serious mental illness. The mental health staff worked in 18 Department of Veterans Affairs inpatient and outpatient ...
Effects of morphine treatment on pro-opiomelanocortin systems in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1990-06-11)

Development of hypothalamic opioid neurons: A combined immunocytochemical and [3H]thymidine autoradiographic study
(Elsevier, 1985-02)
Using a combined technique of immunocytochemistry and [3H]thymidine autoradiography, we have determined the "birth-date" of opioid peptide containing neurons in three hypothalamic nuclei. These include proopiomelanocortin ...
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 ...
