Effects of Cholinergic and Opioid Antagonists on In Vitro Release of Met-Enkephalin, Somatostatin and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 by and PENK Expression in Crop, Proventriculus and Duodenum of Newly Hatched Chickens [PDF]
AnimalsThe gastrointestinal (GI) tract is under neural, endocrine and paracrine control. The release (basal and in the presence of either cholinergic and opioid antagonists) of Met-enkephalin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and somatostatin (SRIF) was ...

Highly sensitive in vivo detection of dynamic changes in enkephalins following acute stress in mice [PDF]
eLifeEnkephalins are opioid peptides that modulate analgesia, reward, and stress. In vivo detection of enkephalins remains difficult due to transient and low endogenous concentrations and inherent sequence similarity.

Exploiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme pathway to augment endogenous opioid signaling [PDF]
Communications BiologyAngiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) impacts hemodynamics by regulating the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstricting angiotensin II. We recently identified a non-canonical central role of ACE in the degradation of enkephalin heptapeptide, Met ...
