Pro-opiomelanocortin co-localizes with corticotropin-releasing factor in axon terminals of the noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus [PDF]

, 2006
We previously demonstrated that the opioid peptide, enkephalin, and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) are occasionally co-localized in individual axon terminals but more frequently converge on common dendrites in the locus coeruleus (LC).

Neuronal pathways in tendon healing and tendinopathy : update [PDF]

, 2016
The regulatory mechanisms involved in tendon homeostasis and repair are not fully understood. Accumulating data, however, demonstrate that the nervous system, in addition to afferent (sensory) functions, through efferent neuronal pathways plays an active

Characterization and Identification of Potential Antioxidant, Antidiabetic, and Antihypertensive Peptides From Hydrolysates of Tenebrio molitor Flour and Its Protein Concentrate

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Insects are recognized as a potential alternative source of proteins and have been studied in recent years as a substrate for enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain bioactive peptides. This study aimed to evaluate the production of hydrolysates with antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive properties from mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) flour and ...

‘Acetaldehyde‐enkephalins’: elucidation of the structure of the acetaldehyde adducts of methionine‐enkephalin and leucine‐enkephalin [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1980
The two major endogenous opioid pentapeptides, methionine-enkephalin and leucine-enkephalin [ 1,2] rapidly react with acetaldehyde, under very mild conditions, to give an ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin’ adduct, referred to as ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin [Met’] and ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin [Leu”], respectively 231.

Lentil Flours as Sustainable Source of Proteins for the Food Industry

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2025.
Lentils, due to their accessibility, sustainability, and high nutritional value, emerge as a promising option as protein flour for food development. This study evaluated different functional and nutritional properties of lentil flours. ABSTRACT The growing transition toward a plant‐based diet, coupled with the need for sustainable dietary protein ...

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]

, 2004
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...

Changes in Liver Metabolome Induced by Pterostilbene and Resveratrol in a Rat Model of Liver Steatosis

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 15, August 2025.
Resveratrol and pterostilbene reduced the steatotic status of animals fed a high‐fat, high‐sucrose diet, involving differential and specific mechanisms of action for each stilbene. Thus, changes in riboflavin metabolism, nicotinamide mononucleotide metabolism, or in the LysoPC(18:1)‐mediated effects contribute to the specific actions of pterostilbene ...

Opioid receptors in cardiovascular function

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 16, Page 3710-3725, August 2025.
Opioid receptors are G protein‐coupled receptors expressed by various cells in the heart, including myocytes and nerve fibres, and play a crucial role in modulating cardiac function. These receptors influence neural transmission, heart rate and myocyte contractility, offering cardioprotection.

Neurotrophic factors and corneal nerve regeneration [PDF]

, 2017
The cornea has unique features that make it a useful model for regenerative medicine studies. It is an avascular, transparent, densely innervated tissue and any pathological changes can be easily detected by slit lamp examination.
