Postnatal ontogeny of acetylated and non-acetylated B-endorphin in rat pituitary
(Elsevier, 1983)
Extracts of the anterior lobe and intermediate lobe of postnatal (P) (Day P1, P7, P14, P21, P28, P35, P42) and adult male Spraque-Dawley rats were analyzed by both a Beta-endorphin (B-END) radioimmunoassay and a radioimmunoassay ...
Effects of morphine treatment on pro-opiomelanocortin systems in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1990-06-11)
In previous studies to determine whether chronic opiate administration might negatively feedback upon endogenous opioid systems in the CNS, investigators found no changes in steady-state concentrations of opioid peptides ...
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 ...
Proopiomelanocortin peptide immunocytochemistry in rhesus monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
The immunocytochemical distribution of Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptides ([beta]-endorphin, ACTH, [alpha]-MSH, 16K fragment) was studied in the brain of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). Some animals were administered ...
Short-Term Adrenalectomy Increases Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor mRNA in Selective Areas of the Developing Hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
In the central nervous system, adrenal steroids bind to two different types of corticosteroid receptors: glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR). In vitro biochemical and autoradiographic techniques have been used ...
Increase in delta, but not mu, receptors in MSG-treated rats
(Elsevier, 1982-09)
Neonatal treatment of rats with Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) has been demonstrated to destroy cell bodies of neurons in the arcuate nucleus including the brain beta-endorphin (B-END) system. The effects on opiate receptors ...
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 ...
Anatomical relationship between opioid peptides and receptors in rhesus monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
To determine whether opioid peptide-receptor pharmacological associations found in vitro (e.g., enkephalin-[delta], dynorphin-[kappa]) predict anatomical relationships in situ, immunocytochemical and receptor autoradiographic ...
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 ...
