Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Anxiety- and depressive-like responses and c-fos activity in preproenkephalin klockout mice: Oversensitivity hypothesis of enkephalin deficit-induced posttraumatic stress disorder

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
The present study used the preproenkephalin knockout (ppENK) mice to test whether the endogenous enkephalins deficit could facilitate the anxiety- and depressive-like symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Selank effects on morphine-induced analgesia in vivo experiments

Фармакокинетика и Фармакодинамика, 2022
Background. The endogenous opioid system is involved in neuroadaptation produced by exogenous opioids. Synthesized on the basis of the regulatory peptide tuftsin, the anxiolytic selank inhibits the activity of enkephalin-degrading enzymes, increasing the

Enkephalin-inactivating enzymes.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1993
The inhibitory effects of opioid peptides such as [Met5]-enkephalin and [Met5]-enkephalin-Arg6 on the electrically-evoked contractions of guinea-pig ileum, mouse vas deferens and rat vas deferens were enhanced by aminopeptidase inhibitors such as amastatin and bestatin, a peptidyl dipeptidase A inhibitor like captopril, and endopeptidase-24.11 ...

Double labelling immunohistochemical characterization of autonomic sympathetic neurons innervating the sow retractor clitoridis muscle [PDF]

, 2008
Retrograde neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods were used to define the neurochemical content of sympathetic neurons projecting to the sow retractor clitoridis muscle (RCM). Differently from the other smooth muscles of genital organs, the RCM

Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

Analgesia linked to Nav1.7 loss of function requires µ- and δ-opioid receptors [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]

, 2004
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...

Proenkephalin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and estimated glomerular filtration rates in patients with sepsis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Proenkephalin (PENK) has been suggested as a novel biomarker for kidney function. We investigated the diagnostic and prognostic utility of plasma PENK in comparison with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and estimated ...

Blood-brain barrier transport kinetics of NOTA-modified proteins : the somatropin case [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Chemical modifications such as PEG, polyamine and radiolabeling on proteins can alter their pharmacokinetic behaviour and their blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport characteristics. NOTA, i.e. 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid, is a
