Peptide F (pro-enkephalin fragment) : Radioimmunoassay, and stress-induced changes in adrenal
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Utilizing a nine amino-acid (Asp-Glu-Leu-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Glu-Val-Glu) non-enkephalin containing fragment of Peptide F from the pro-enkephalin molecule, a radioimmunoassay was developed. Extraction of bovine, rat, and guinea ...
Plasma beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity, self reported pain perception and anxiety levels in women during pregnancy and labor
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Plasma Beta-endorphin (B-END) immunoreactivity was measured in 19 men, 16 women at midcycle, and ten pregnant women at various points in their pregnancies. There is a significant difference between the levels measured in ...
Pulse-chase studies of the POMC/Beta-endorphin system in the pituitary of acutely and chronically stressed rats
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Experiments were carried out to determine whether stress induces biochemical changes in the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) system in anterior (AL) and intermediate-posterior lobe (IPL) of rat. In a series of pulse-chase ...
Genetic and phenotypic analysis of the mouse mutant mh 2J , an Ap3d allele caused by IAP element insertion
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2003-03)
Abstract
Dynorphin is located throughout the CNS and is often co-localized with alpha-neo-endorphin
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
The opioid peptide dynorphin has been described as widely distributed in CNS when measured by RIA. Our previous immunohistochemical studies have only demonstrated dynorphin cells as those containing AVP. We now report the ...
Colocalization of estrogen β-receptor messenger RNA with orphanin FQ, vasopressin and oxytocin in the rat hypothalamic paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-05)
The functional significance of the novel estrogen receptor β in brain areas that exclusively contain the ERβ receptor subtype such as the paraventricular (PVN) and the supraoptic (SON) nuclei of the hypothalamus is not yet ...
Assessment of muscarinic receptor concentrations in aging and Alzheimer disease with [ 11 C]NMPB and PET
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03-15)
Cerebral cholinergic deficits have been described in Alzheimer disease (AD) and as a result of normal aging. At the present time, there are very limited options for the quantification of cholinergic receptors with in vivo ...
Immunocytochemical studies with antisera against Leu-enkephalin and an enkephalin-precursor fragment (BAM-22P) in the rat brain
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Rats given high doses of colchicine (300-400 ug, i.c.v.) were used to investigate the comparative distribution of Leu-enkephalin and bovine adrenal medullary enkephalin-precursor fragment (BAM-22P) in the brain. Leu-enkephalin ...
Dynorphin (1-17): Lack of analgesia but evidence for non-opiate electrophysiological and motor effects
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Dynorphin and an opiate-inactive fragment des-Tyr-dynorphin produced similar effects on EEG, motor function and hippocampal unit firing. Naloxone had no effect on the actions of dynorphin in these systems and dynorphin ...
Ionotropic glutamate receptor modulation preferentially affects NMDA receptor expression in rat hippocampus
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-12-01)
Electrophysiological data suggest that alterations in the function of one glutamate receptor subtype may affect the function of other subtypes. Further, previous studies have demonstrated that NMDA receptor antagonists ...
