CNS Active O-Linked Glycopeptides that Penetrate the BBB

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2015
Naturally occurring glycopeptides and glycoproteins play important roles in biological processes. Glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications in vivo.

On the History of Hepatic Vein Catheterization

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatic vein catheterization (HVC) in man was first performed 80 years ago in the wake of right‐sided heart catheterization. Several new methods, recognitions and concepts followed, especially the indirect Fick‐method for determination of splanchnic blood flow. Five years passed before pressure measurements were performed and routine HVCs were

Interaction of the Gut Microbiota and the Enteric Nervous System: Implications in Gastrointestinal Disorders Associated With Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAutism Research, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. In addition to these core behavioral symptoms, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are frequently reported, ranging from severe constipation to diarrhea.

Pinus pinea L. Periderm as a Sustainable Source of Phenolic Bioactives: Integrated Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and Elemental Investigation

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
A hydroalcoholic extract from the renewable periderm of Pinus pinea is characterized through integrated phytochemical, biological and elemental analyses. The extract exhibits a phenolic‐rich composition, significant antioxidant activity and preliminary protection against oxidative stress in SH‐SY5Y cells, while elemental profiling indicates low levels ...

The enzymatic degradation and transport of leucine–enkephalin and 4-imidazolidinone enkephalin prodrugs at the blood–brain barrier

open access: yes, 1998
In this study, the stability in and transport across a cell culture model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is investigated for leucine-enkephalin (Leu-enkephalin) and four 4-imidazolidinone prodrugs of Leu-enkephalin. The results show that Leu-enkephalin

Met-enkephalin immunoreactivity in blood platelets

open access: yes, 1982
Picogram amounts (50-150 pg/mg protein) of immunoreactive met-enkephalin material (met-enkephalin in IR) were detected by radioimmunoassay in human, rat and rabbit platelets.

Effects of Restraint Stress on Circulating Corticosterone and Met Enkephalin in Chickens: Induction of Shifts in Insulin Secretion and Carbohydrate Metabolism

open access: yesAnimals
This study examined the effects of acute restraint stress in the presence or absence of naltrexone on the circulating concentrations of insulin, glucose, Met-enkephalin and corticosterone in 14-week-old chickens [design: 2 sex × 2 stress/non-stress × 2 +/

Neuropharmacological actions of enkephalin after systemic administration

open access: yes, 1976
A pentapeptide, methionine-enkephalin, which interacts with opiate receptors in the brain, was found to markedly potentiate the behavioral effects of DOPA when administered intraperitoneally into mice.
