Postnatal development of beta-endorphin immunoreactivity in the medulla oblongata of rat
(Elsevier, 1985-02)
Beta-endorphin (B-END) like immunoreactivity (i.r.) levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in the medulla oblongata of developing rats on postnatal ages P1-P42 at 7 day intervals, and in adult rats. From P1 to P42, B-END ...
CSF somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression: Relationship to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and clinical measures
(Elsevier, 1993)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depression have been shown to have overlapping clinical symptoms and biological markers, including decreased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) somatostatin-like ...
Changes at multiple levels of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis following repeated electrically induced seizures
(Elsevier, 1990)
Seizures, including electrically induced seizures (ECS), activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rats. The present studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of repeated ECS on hormone release and ...
Temperature as a dependent variable in the study of cholinergic mechanisms
(Elsevier, 1988)
Dilsaver, Steven C. and Norman F. Alessi: Temperature as a Dependent Variable in the Study of Cholinergic Mechanisms. Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol. & Biol. Psychiat. 1988, : 1-32. 1. 1. Change in core temperature over ...
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 ...
Steady state levels of pro-dynorphin-related end products in the striatum and substantia nigra of the adult rhesus monkey
(Elsevier, 1985)
Analysis of an acid extract of the striatum of the rhesus monkey revealed that the molar ratio of dynorphin A(1-8)-sized material and dynorphin (A(1-17)-sized material is approximately 1:1. In addition, the molar ratios ...
Paradoxical effect of corticosteroids on pituitary ACTH/[beta]-endorphin release in stressed animals
(Elsevier, 1988)
We have previously demonstrated a number of changes in the anterior lobe proopiomelanocortin (POMC) system in chronically stressed rats. The purpose of the present experiments was to investigate whether chronically stressed ...
Fever and leukocytosis: Physical manifestations of bipolar affective disorder?
(Elsevier, 1988)
1. 1. Fever and leukocytosis are occasionally observed in patients with psychiatric disorders. A thorough medical evaluation does not always reveal the origin of these abnormalities.2. 2. We report the case histories of ...
The effect of amphetamine on plasma cortisol in patients with endogenous and non-endogenous depression
(Elsevier, 1981)
Amphetamine sulphate (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.) produced no consistent change in plasma cortisol levels in 21 depressed patients. Seven patients with endogenous depression (melancholia) were matched with seven patients with ...
Behavioral effects of dynorphin1-13 in the mouse and rat: Initial observations
(Elsevier, 1980)
Dynorphin is a recently identified, pharmacologically potent endogenous opioid peptide. Heretofore it has not been characterized for its behavioral effects. The effects of centrally infused dynorphin upon a variety of ...
