Downregulation of the endogenous opioid peptides in the dorsal striatum of human alcoholics
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 The endogenous opioid peptides dynorphins and enkephalins may be involved in brain-area specific synaptic adaptations relevant for different stages of an addiction cycle.

Proenkephalin and risk of developing chronic kidney disease:The Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-stage Disease study [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Proenkephalin (pro-ENK) was recently found to be associated with low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The association of pro-ENK with urinary albumin excretion (UAE), another marker for chronic kidney disease (CKD), has not been ...

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.

Acetaldehyde‐enkephalins: pronounced changes in the opiate activity of methionine‐enkephalin and leucine‐enkephalin on reaction with acetaldehyde [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1980 We have shown that the two major endogenous opioid peptides, methionine-enkephalin and leucineenkephalin [ 1,2] (enkephalin [Met’] and enkephalin[Leu’]) rapidly react with acetaldehyde in aqueous buffers to give a stable ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin’ adduct, referred to as ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin[Met’]’ and ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin [Leu’]‘, respectively ...
