Exposure to exogenous enkephalins disrupts reproductive development in the Eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera (Insecta: Orthoptera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Enkephalins play a major role in reproductive physiology in crustaceans; however their role in reproductive development in insects is largely unknown. We investigated the effect of exposure to exogenous leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk), methionine-enkephalin

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 The olfactory tubercle (OT) is a striatal region that receives olfactory inputs. mRNAs of prodynorphin (Pdyn) and preproenkephalin (Penk), precursors of dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively, are strongly expressed in the striatum. Both produce opioid

‘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.

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]
, 2020 Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.

Neuroplasticity and Healthy Lifestyle: How Can We Understand This Relationship? [PDF]
, 2017 Our brain has this extraordinary ability to experience functional and structural changes before environmental stimuli, cognitive demand, or our experience itself. Exercise, diet, an appropriate sleep pattern, and reading habits are among those activities

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1997 Recent data support the view that neuropeptide mediators, in particular opioid peptides, participate in the control of hematopoiesis. The main arguments are: neuropeptides modulate the functions of lymphoid cells, macrophages and mature granulocytes; they control cell proliferation and differentiation in many tissues, particularly during embryogenesis;
