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 ...
The preferential release of beta-endorphin from the anterior pituitary lobe by Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF)
(Elsevier, 1986)
Although a number of investigators have shown that release of ACTH is accompanied by the release of Beta-endorphin ([beta]-End) and Beta-lipotropin ([beta]-LPH), the proportion of the latter two peptides released with ...
Pharmacological and anatomical evidence of selective [mu], [delta], and [chi] opioid receptor binding in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1986-12-03)
While the distribution of opioid receptors can be differentiated in the rat central nervous system, their precise localization has remained controversial, due, in part, to the previous lack of selective ligands and insensitive ...
Characterization of the forms of [beta]-endorphin and [alpha]-MSH in the caudal medulla of the rat and guinea pig
(Elsevier, 1986-07-09)
The post-translational processing of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) in brain remains controversial. Classically, there was thought to be a single cell group in the arcuate nucleus with long projections through limbic structures. ...
Lateral hypothalamic innervation of the cerebral cortex: Immunoreactive staining for a peptide resembling but immunochemically distinct from pituitary/arcuate [alpha]-melanocyte stimulating hormone
(Elsevier, 1986-01)
The combination of retrograde transport of fluorescent dyes and indirect immunofluorescence has been used to study the putative neurotransmitter specificity of the tuberal lateral hypothalamic projection to the cerebral ...
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) ...
[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), ...
