Cloning and characterization of a pharmacologically distinct A1 adenosine receptor from guinea pig brain
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
Three full-length cDNA clones encoding the guinea pig A1 adenosine receptor have been isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and low-stringency hybridization screening of a guinea pig brain cDNA library. These three ...
Plasma measures of B-endorphin-like immunoreactivity in depressives and other psychiatric subjects
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
We report the utilization of a very sensitive radioimmunoassay for plasma B-END, which has enabled us to examine the suppressibility of B-END-like material, under dexamethasone challenge, on a population of depressed ...
The signal peptide of pro-opiomelancortin: Validation of a specific radioimmunoassay
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
The N-terminus portion of the POMC leader sequence (signal peptide) was synthesized, and an antiserum was raised against it. A radioimmunoassay was developed which is effective at a dilution of 1:500,000, and sensitive at ...
Chronic electroconvulsive shock treatment elicits up-regulation of CRF and AVP mRNA in select populations of neuroendocrine neurons
(Elsevier, 1989-11-06)
The effects of repeated electroconvulsive seizures (ECS) on expression of mRNAs coding for corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in neuroendocrine neurons of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical ...
The Role of the Hippocampal Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of the Aged Fisher Rat
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
The aging process has been frequently associated with hippocampal neuredegeneration, loss of corticosteroid receptors, and, at the same time, dysfunction of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. We were interested ...
[alpha]-MSH in rat brain: occurence within and outside of [beta]-endorphin neurons
(Elsevier, 1980-01-20)
Selective forebrain fiber tract lesions implicate ventral hippocampal structures in tonic regulation of paraventricular nucleus corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) mRNA expression
(Elsevier, 1992-10-02)
The hippocampus appears to be involved in tonic regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis via interactions with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine vasopressin (AVP)-containing neurons of ...
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 ...
Regulation of striatonigral prodynorphin peptides by dopaminergic agents
(Elsevier, 1990-06-04)
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the regulation of prodynorphin peptides by dopaminergic agents in the central nervous system. The indirectly acting catecholamine agonist -amphetamine sulfate (AMPH) and the ...
