Strategies for studying opioid peptide regulation at the gene, message and protein levels
(Elsevier, 1984)
Three opioid peptide precursors have been isolated and characterized in endocrine and nervous tissue: pro-opiomelanocortin, pro-enkephalin, and pro-dynorphin. Since each of those opioid peptide systems have been extensively ...
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 ...
Β-Endorphin/ACTH immunocytochemistry in the CNS of the lizard Anolis carolinensis : Evidence for a major mesencephalic cell group
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1984-11-10)
The immunocytochemical distribution of Β-endorphin and other proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptides in the central nervous system of the lizard Anolis carolinensis was determined. Colchicine pretreatment was used to enhance ...
Relationship of presympathetic-premotor neurons to the serotonergic transmitter system in the rat brainstem
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-12-20)
Numerous physiological conditions and emotionally motivated behaviors require concomitant activation of somatomotor and sympathetic efferents. Using a virally mediated retrograde transsynaptic tract-tracing approach, we ...
Delta opioid receptor mRNA distribution in the brain: Comparison to delta receptor binding and proenkephalin mRNA
(Elsevier, 1993)
The recent cloning of the mouse delta opioid receptor (Evans et al., 1992; Kieffer et al., 1992) has demonstrated it to be a member of the seven transmembrane G-protein coupled family of neurotransmitter receptors. The ...
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 ...
[beta]-Endorphin processing and cellular origins in rat spinal cord
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
While enkephalin and dynorphin peptides have been well characterized in the spinal cord, the cellular localization of [beta]-endorphin ([beta]E) and the processing of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) to [beta]E and other ...
