Plasma methionine-enkephalin-like and leucine-enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (met-enkephalin-LI and leu-enkephalin-LI, respectively) in six normal subjects and six patients with pheochromocytoma were determined. The contents of met-enkephalin-LI and leu-enkephalin-LI in two of six pheochromocytomas were 40- to 50-fold higher and those in the other ...

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1989
SUMMARY1. A radio‐immunoassay (RIA) for methionine‐enkephalin sulfoxide was developed and was used to measure methionine‐enkephalin, after oxidation, in the rat brain.2. The RIA was performed together with assays that use commercially available met‐and leu‐enkephalin antisera.3.

Methionine Enkephalin: Clinical Pharmacology
1986Earlier studies indicated that methionine enkephalin infusions (1,000 micrograms) in normal volunteers induced facial flushing, general vasodilation and noisy stomach (borborgymi). Blood pressure and pulse rate were normal in all experiments. Plasma levels of pancreatic polypeptide, somatostatin, T3 and T4, TSH, FSH, PRL, ACTH, and GH were unchanged ...

Stabilization of methionine-enkephalin in human and rat blood
Life Sciences, 1986Methods of preventing the degradation of 3H-methionine-enkephalin (3H-ME) in human blood both at 37 degrees C and under conditions of immediate cooling were examined. We found that, contrary to previous suggestions, use of aprotinin (with or without immediate cooling) was ineffective in preventing the degradation of 3H-ME in blood.

International journal of peptide and protein research, 1980
Biological activities are reported for two different types of analogues of methionine enkephalin. Cyclic analogues, bridged between the amino- and carboxy- terminals of the parent peptide, are inactive. In contrast, significant levels of activity are displayed by linear isosterically modified analogues in which the Tyr1-Gly2 peptide bond is replaced by

Methionine-enkephalin and vasopressin in SHR: effects of dehydration
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1986Enkephalins are found in the posterior pituitary, can alter vasopressin secretion, and have greater pressor effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) than in Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Measurement of the plasma methionine-enkephalin concentration (PMet-Enk) has provided equivocal results in humans and has not been reported in rats.

Self-administration of methionine enkephalin into the nucleus accumbens
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1984Microinfusions of the endogenous opiate neurohumor, methionine enkephalin, into the nucleus accumbens initiated a reinforcing stimulus in a dose-related manner. The reinforcing nature of this intracranial self-administration was evaluated with intermittent schedules of reinforcement and a two-lever discrimination procedure.

Immunoreactive Methionine-Enkephalin Secretion by Porcine Uterus*
Endocrinology, 1991The current study examined the presence of immunoreactive methionine-enkephalin (ir-MENK) in porcine uterine fluid and endometrial extracts, characterized ir-MENK biochemically, and investigated the effect of ovarian steroids on uterine secretion of ir-MENK. Porcine uterine fluid was collected by flushing the uterine lumen with saline.

Influence of methionine-enkephalin on stress-induced parameters
International Journal of Immunopharmacology, 1998This study examines the influence of methionine-enkephalin (MENK) on stress-induced oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation; LPO) in mice liver homogenate, plasma corticosterone concentration (CS) and phagocytic activity of mouse splenocytes. The LPO value increased in the mice subjected to restraint stress and had no correlation to stress duration, while

Methionine enkephalin regulates microglia polarization and function
International Immunopharmacology, 2016Methionine enkephalin (MENK), an opioid peptide, is known to function as a regulator in the immune system. As microglia are considered the most important immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), we aimed to assess the function of MENK on microglia polarization and tumoricidal responses.
