[D-Ala2,(F5)Phe4]-dynorphin1-13-NH2 (DAFPHEDYN): A potent analog of dynorphin 1-13
(Elsevier, 1987)
Intracerebroventricular administration of the dynorphin analog, [D-Ala2,(F5)Phe4]-dynorphin1-13-NH2 (DAFPHEDYN) in rats produced diuresis and profound analgesia. Both effects were antagonized by central administration of ...
Gamma-melanotropin response to ovine corticotropin releasing factor in normal humans
(Elsevier, 1987)
Plasma [gamma]-melanotropin was measured by a [gamma]3MSH-specific radioimmunoassay before and after a single bolus intravenous infusion of ovine corticotropin releasing factor (oCRF; 0.1 ug/kg) in seven normal men. A ...
Interaction of opiate peptide and noradrenalin systems: Light microscopic studies
(Elsevier, 1980)
In this light microscopic immunocyto-chemical study [beta]-Endorphin ([beta]-END), leu-enkephalin and dopamine-[beta]hydroxylase (DBH) antisera are used to obtain an overview of the interaction of the noradrenergic and ...
Analysis of opioid and non-opioid end products of pro-dynorphin in the substantia nigra of the rat
(Elsevier, 1985-02)
The substantia nigra is among the richest pro-dynorphin terminal field regions in the rat brain. We therefore contrasted processing in this area to the known processing in the posterior pituitary. Fractionation of acid ...
In Vitro release of hypothalamic [beta]-endorphin [beta]E by arginine vasopressin, corticotropin-releasing hormone and 5-hydroxytryptamine: Evidence for release of opioid active and inactive [beta]E forms
(Elsevier, 1990-05)
The aims of the present experiments were: 1) to test whether substances which modulate beta-endorphin-immunoreactive [beta]E-ir release from the pituitary gland might act similarly in hypothalamic tissue; and 2) to further ...
In situ hybridization histochemistry with synthetic oligonucleotides: Strategies and methods
(Elsevier, 1985)
In situ hybridization histochemistry is a useful method for localizing specific mRNA and studying the regulation of gene expression in an anatomical context. Previously, classical recombinant DNA and microbiological ...
MSG effects on beta-endorphin and alpha-MSH in the hypothalamus and caudal medulla
(Elsevier, 1988)
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) was given to neonatal male rats to determine its effects on neurons containing beta-endorphin ([beta]-END) and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone ([alpha]-MSH) within the basal hypothalamus ...
Anatomical and biochemical studies of the opioid peptides and related substances in the brain
(Elsevier, 1980)
It is now clear that there are at least four opioid peptide-neuronal systems in mammalian brain: the enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphin. The focus of this presentation will be twofold--to focus on the multiple ...
