Interaction of enkephalin and caerulein on guinea pig small intestine

, 1983
This is a report on the effect of caerulein and methionine-enkephalin interaction on mechanical contraction and acetylcholine release in vitro. The ability of enkephalin to relax caerulein-induced contractions and the manner in which the caerulein dose ...

The lipolytic activity of met-enkephalin, leu-enkephalin, morphine, methadone and naloxone in human adipose tissue

, 1981
Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin lipolytic activity in human omental adipose tissue is compared with that of morphine, methadone and naloxone. Met- and leu-enkephalin exhibited lipolytic action similar to that of morphine but unlike that of methadone ...

Cardiac synthesis, processing, and coronary release of enkephalin-related peptides

, 2000
Although preproenkephalin mRNA is abundant in the heart, the myocardial synthesis and processing of proenkephalin is largely undefined. Isolated working rat hearts were perfused to determine the rate of myocardial proenkephalin synthesis, its processing ...

Co‐Expression of Tardive Dyskinesia and Drug‐Induced Parkinsonism in Rats Chronically Treated With Haloperidol

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports
Aim We aimed to create a rat model of drug‐induced parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia by chronic administration of haloperidol and examine the expression of direct and indirect pathway markers in the striatum of the model rats.

Induction of differentiation increases Met5-enkephalin and Leu5- enkephalin content in NG108-15 hybrid cells: an immunocytochemical and biochemical analysis

, 1983
Regulation of cellular content of the endogenous opioid peptides Met5- enkephalin and Leu5-enkephalin was investigated in neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid cells NG108-15 grown in both serum-supplemented and serum- free defined media.

Enkephalins and Pain Modulation: Mechanisms of Action and Therapeutic Perspectives

Biomolecules
Enkephalins, a subclass of endogenous opioid peptides, play a pivotal role in pain modulation. Enkephalins primarily exert their effects through opioid receptors located widely throughout both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Anti-methionine-enkephalin antibodies decrease local inflammatory reaction

, 1997
Introduction: Methionine-enkephalin ix an opioid peptide which exerts immunomodulatory activity after central and peripheral ' application. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of anti-Methionine-enkephalin antibodies on local ...

Central δ/κ opioid receptor signaling pathways mediate chronic and/or acute suckling-induced LH suppression in rats during late lactation

The Journal of Reproduction and Development
In mammals, secretion of tonic (pulsatile) gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) is often suppressed during lactation. Suppression of GnRH/LH pulses in lactating dams is assumed to be caused by suckling stimuli and a chronic ...

Characterization of the Enzymatic Degradation of Enkephalin

, 1976
v, 20 p.In the brain enkephalin is degraded by an endogenous enzyme. The nature of the enzyme is not known. If the enzyme is specific for enkephalin it would probably be sequestered to those areas of the brain in which enkephalin occurs, i.e. the corpus
