[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 ...
Localization of neurons containing pro-opiomelanocortin-related peptides in the hypothalamus and midbrain of the lizard, Anolis carolinensis evidence for region-specific processing of [beta]-endorphin
(Elsevier, 1984-12-24)
Immunohistochemical analyses of the lizard brain, following colchicine pretreatment, revealed two populations of POMC-producing cell bodies located in medial-basal hypothalamus and the mesencephalic tegmentum. Analyses of ...
Mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptor mRNA expression in the rat CNS: An in situ hybridization study
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 1994-12-15)
The Μ, Δ, and Κ opioid receptors are the three main types of opioid receptors round in the central nervous system (CNS) and periphery. These receptors and the peptides with which they interact are important in a number of ...
Distinct neurochemical populations in the rat central nucleus of the amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis: Evidence for their selective activation by interleukin-1β
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-10-11)
The lateral division of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CEAl) and the oval nucleus of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTov) have been linked closely anatomically and functionally. To determine whether these ...
Pharmacological and anatomical evidence of selective [mu], [delta], and [chi] opioid receptor binding in rat brain
(Elsevier, 1986-12-03)
While the distribution of opioid receptors can be differentiated in the rat central nervous system, their precise localization has remained controversial, due, in part, to the previous lack of selective ligands and insensitive ...
Characterization of the forms of [beta]-endorphin and [alpha]-MSH in the caudal medulla of the rat and guinea pig
(Elsevier, 1986-07-09)
The post-translational processing of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) in brain remains controversial. Classically, there was thought to be a single cell group in the arcuate nucleus with long projections through limbic structures. ...
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 ...
