Met-enkephalin receptors in human gliomas
NeuroReport, 1994Endogenous opioid systems (opioid peptides and receptors) are involved in many functions including the regulation of cell growth. We investigated the presence of Met-enkephalin binding sites in gliomas by displacement assays. Results demonstrated that few gliomas exhibit Met-enkephalin binding sites and that the percentage of tumours which express ...

Smart Polymeric Nanocarriers of Met-enkephalin
Biomacromolecules, 2016This study describes a novel approach to polymeric nanocarriers of the therapeutic peptide met-enkephalin based on the aggregation of thermoresponsive polymers. Thermoresponsive bioconjugate poly((di(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate)-ran-(oligo(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacrylate) is synthesized by AGET ATRP using modified met ...

Met-enkephalin circulates in human plasma
Nature, 1980The physiological roles of Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin are still unknown. They may act as neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Met-enkephalin has been detected in several species in a variety of tissues including brain, spinal cord and gut using bioassays, opiate receptor assays and radioimmunoassays (RIA). It has also

Met-enkephalin immunoreactivity in blood platelets
Life Sciences, 1982Picogram amounts (50-150 pg/mg protein) of immunoreactive met-enkephalin material (met-enkephalin IR) were detected by radioimmunoassay in human, rat and rabbit platelets. Characterization of this material by thin-layer chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography indicated that it behaves identically with ...

The conversion of met-enkephalin-Arg6, Phe7 to met-enkephalin in rabbit ear artery
Life Sciences, 1983We studied the opioid agonist activities of met-enkephalin-Arg6, Phe7 heptapeptide (ME-A,P) and its D-Ala2-analogue in several isolated organs including rabbit ear artery (ART), guinea-pig ileum (GPI) mouse-, rat and rabbit vas deferens preparation. Both heptapeptides followed the in vitro activity pattern of met-enkephalin (ME).

Peptides, 1984
Immunohistochemical localization of Met-enkephalin, Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8, Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 and Leu-enkephalin was studied in human adrenal medulla and pheochromocytomas at the light and electron microscopic levels. Both adrenal medulla and pheochromocytomas (4 adrenal, 1 extra-adrenal) showed scattered or clustered cells which ...

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1981
Abstract Enzymes degrading Met-enkephalin-Arg 6 -Phe 7 , an endogenous brain peptide with enhanced opiate activity in vivo, were isolated from membrane preparations of rabbit kidney and brain, and their specificity compared. A preparation from kidney or brain containing the angiotensin converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) released with time Arg-Phe, Met ...

Met-Enkephalin in Oxidative Stress
2006Hugo Besedovsky demonstrated immune-brain communications more than 35 years ago. His recent findings concern the ability of IL-1 (centrally mediated immune challenge) to induce hypoglycaemia (response of immune tissue on periphery). So we no longer question that injection of immune modulators can affect the brain or that the immune system can interfere

Region-specific antisera to three enkephalins: met-enkephalin, met-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 and met-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8, together with four region specific antisera to progastrin: C-terminal G17 specific, N-terminal G34 specific, cryptic peptides A- and B-specific, were used in immunohistochemical studies of hog antral mucosa. A sub-population (6-10%)

Plasma met-enkephalin in type I diabetes
Metabolism, 1992Physiological and pathological evidence suggests that opioid peptides may play a role in glucose homeostasis. We measured plasma levels of beta-endorphin (beta-END) and met-enkephalin (met-ENK) in 22 type I diabetic patients and 15 healthy women (control group).
