Differential Changes in Striatal Projection Neurons in R6/2 Transgenic Mice for Huntington's Disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 2002 In early adult-onset Huntington's disease (HD), enkephalinergic striatopallidal projection neurons show preferential loss, reduced preproenkephalin (PPE) expression in surviving striatopallidal neurons, and loss of fibers in their projection target area.

Radioimmunological and immunocytochemical demonstration of met-enkephalin in planaria
, 1983 1. An anti-Met-enkephalin serum has been used for radioimmunological and immunocyto-chemical demonstration of Met-enkephalin in planaria. 2. The serum showed a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. 3.

Enkephalin-dopamine interactions in behavioral arousal
, 1979 1. 1. Central injection of a long lasting enkephalin analog (D-Ala2-leuo-enkephalin-amide) produced a syndrome of stereotyped motor activity.2. 2. This activation syndrome was significantly reduced by two dopamine (DA) blockers (pimozide, fluspirilene ...

, 1982 The met-enkephalin analogue, D-Ala2-MePhe4-met-enkephalin-(C)-ol (DAMME), was given i.v. to 6 normal subjects. Elevations in plasma prolactin and growth hormone (GH) occurred in association with significant falls in plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine.

, 1979 A hexapeptide that we have named pro-methionine-enkephalin has been isolated from acid extracts of porcine hypothalami and found to have the amino acid sequence H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met(O)-Arg-OH.

Modulation of cholinergic neurotransmission in airways by enkephalin
, 1985 We compared the effects of methionine enkephalin and leucine enkephalin on contractions of isolated canine tracheal smooth muscle strips induced by field electrical stimulation (ES) and exogenous acetylcholine (approximately 10(-5) M).

BmK-YA, an Enkephalin-Like Peptide in Scorpion Venom
, 2012 By screening extracts of venom from the Asian scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK) for their abilities to activate opioid receptors, we have identified BmK-YA, an amidated peptide containing an enkephalin-like sequence. BmK-YA is encoded by a precursor

Plasma met-enkephalin, beta-endorphin and leu-enkephalin levels in human hepatic encephalopathy
, 2007 257-265To address the role of the opioid system in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy [HE] we measured plasma met- enkephalin, beta -endorphin and leu- enkephalin in patients with different grades of HE compared to control subjects and patients ...
