Role of enkephalin derivative in promoting wound healing and scar remodeling via increased epidermal growth factor in a mouse model [PDF]
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2023 Background Enkephalin, an endogenous neuropeptide, binds to the delta (δ) opioid receptor and exerts an antinociceptive effect. Recent studies have suggested that neuropeptides might effectuate cutaneous wound healing.

Exposure to exogenous enkephalins disrupts reproductive development in the Eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera (Insecta: Orthoptera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Enkephalins play a major role in reproductive physiology in crustaceans; however their role in reproductive development in insects is largely unknown. We investigated the effect of exposure to exogenous leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk), methionine-enkephalin

Comprehensive Analysis of Sinomenii caulis and Menispermi rhizoma Based on Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight-Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
Anal Sci AdvABSTRACT Sinomenii caulis (SC) and Menispermi rhizoma (MR) are Chinese herbal medicines from the same family and are often confused. To achieve identification of SC and MR, the paper used the differential chemical components and the combination characteristics of chemical components to carry out a comprehensive analysis.
