Proenkephalin A 119-159 (Penkid) Is an Early Biomarker of Septic Acute Kidney Injury: The Kidney in Sepsis and Septic Shock (Kid-SSS) Study [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. The Kidney in Sepsis and Septic Shock (Kid-SSS) study evaluated the value of proenkephalin A 119-159 (penkid)—a sensitive biomarker of glomerular function,

The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]

, 2015
The anterolateral tract (ALT), which originates from neurons in lamina I and the deep dorsal horn, represents a major ascending output through which nociceptive information is transmitted to brain areas involved in pain perception.

Synthesis method of asymmetric gold particles. [PDF]

, 2017
Asymmetric particles can exhibit unique properties. However, reported synthesis methods for asymmetric particles hinder their application because these methods have a limited scale and lack the ability to afford particles of varied shapes.

From morphine to endogenous opioid peptides, e.g., endorphins: the endless quest for the perfect painkiller

Substantia, 2018
Opium was known since the Neolithic era and in 5th century wild Papaver use was reported to induce sleep and relieving pain. First active component isolated from Opium was morphine, the paradigm of a natural product discovered 150 years before isolation ...

Crosslinking of membrane CD13 in human neutrophils mediates phagocytosis and production of reactive oxygen species, neutrophil extracellular traps and proinflammatory cytokines

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Aminopeptidase N, or CD13, is a cell membrane ectopeptidase highly expressed in myeloid cells. Through its enzymatic activity, CD13 regulates the activity of several bioactive peptides, such as endorphins and enkephalins, chemotactic peptides like MCP-1 ...

Enkephalins in hematopoiesis

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;

Dopamine-D1 and δ-opioid receptors co-exist in rat striatal neurons [PDF]

, 2006
Cocaine’s enhancement of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic pathway plays a critical role in the initial reinforcing properties of this drug. However, other neurotransmitter systems are also integral to the addiction process.
