Selank effects on morphine-induced analgesia in vivo experiments

open access: yesФармакокинетика 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

Purification and characterization of enkephalin convertase, an enkephalin-synthesizing carboxypeptidase.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1983
Enkephalin convertase, an enkephalin-synthesizing carboxypeptidase present in adrenal medulla chromaffin granules, has also been detected in brain and pituitary. To determine whether these three carboxypeptidase activities represent the same enzyme, we purified and characterized enkephalin convertase from adrenal medulla, whole brain, and whole ...

The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

CD206+/MHCII− macrophage accumulation at nerve injury site correlates with attenuation of allodynia in TASTPM mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesBrain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 2022
Chronic pain is undertreated in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of chronic pain in this neurodegenerative disease is essential.

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

open access: yesJournal 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).

RELEASE OF VASOPRESSIN BY ENKEPHALIN [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 1978
Leu‐enkephalin, its stable analogue [D‐Ala2‐D‐Leu5]‐enkephalin and the C‐fragment of lipotropin (β endorphin) injected intravenously in the rat produced anti‐diuretic responses which were inhibited reversibly by naloxone. It was shown for Leu‐enkephalin that injection into the cerebral ventricles was at least ten times more effective than intravenous ...

Modulation of Neurally Mediated Vasodepression and Bradycardia by Electroacupuncture through Opioids in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Stimulation of vagal afferent endings with intravenous phenylbiguanide (PBG) causes both bradycardia and vasodepression, simulating neurally mediated syncope.

The Opioid System in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Functional Role and Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Temporal lobe epilepsy is considered to be one of the most common and severe forms of focal epilepsies. Patients often develop cognitive deficits and emotional blunting along the progression of the disease.
