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 ...
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 ...
Some of the [alpha]-NH2-acetylated [beta]-endoprhin-like material in rat and monkey pituitary and brain is acetylated [alpha]- and [beta]-endorphin
(Elsevier, 1983)
There are several studies demonstrating the existence of [alpha]-NH2-acetylated (N-Ac) forms of [beta]-endorphin in the intermediate lobe of several species (1,4,6). These include N-Ac-[beta]-endorphin(1-31), N-Ac-[beta] ...
Tritiated ethylketocyclazocine binding in rat brain: Differential distribution of binding sites across brain regions
(Elsevier, 1982-09)
In rat brain, 3H-EKC shows a relative regional distribution of binding which parallels that of 3H-morphine. Dynorphin(1-13) has a pattern similar to morphine and dissimilar to EKC in displacing the three labels. Dynorphin(1-13) ...
[3H] dynorphin binding to guinea pig and rat brain
(Elsevier, 1983)
[3H] Dynorphin can be shown to bind to the brains of both rat and guinea pigs with approximately 50% specific binding. Characterization of the binding in terms of multiple opiate receptor types supports the kappa selectivity ...
POMC in rhesus anterior pituitary and plasma: Evidence of N-acetylated [beta]-endorphin and [alpha]-MSH
(Elsevier, 1983)
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) related peptides have been studied in rat tissue and plasma, but they have not been well characterized in the rhesus monkey. Since monkey pituitary may be more similar to the human pituitary ...
