Acetaldehyde involvement in ethanol's postabsortive effects during early ontogeny [PDF]
, 2013 Clinical and biomedical studies sustains the notion that early ontogeny is a vulnerable window to the impact of alcohol. Experiences with the drug during these stages increase latter disposition to prefer, use or abuse ethanol.

Estradiol treatment prevents injury induced enhancement in spinal cord dynorphin expression.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Administration of the ovarian steroid estradiol in male and female animals has been shown to have neuromodulatory and neuroprotective effects in a variety of experimental models. In the present study, spinal tissues from dermatomes just above (T5-7, at

Isolation and amino acid sequence analysis of a 4,000-dalton dynorphin from porcine pituitary [PDF]
, 1982 A 4,000-dalton dynorphin was isolated from porcine pituitary. It has 32 amino acids (Mr = 3,986), with the previously described heptadecapeptide (now called dynorphin A) at its amino terminus and a related tridecapeptide, dynorphin B, at its carboxyl ...
