Immunohistochemical studies on the gastrointestinal tract using antisera to Met-enkephalin and Met-enkephalin Arg6Phe7. [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1983 Antisera specific for the C-terminus of Met-enkephalin and two of its variants isolated from adrenal medulla and brain, namely Met-enk Arg6 and Met-enk Arg6Phe7, have been used in immunohistochemical studies of the gastrointestinal tract in rat, mouse and guinea pig.

Smoking Abstinence Elicits Hyperalgesia: Neural Mechanism, Clinical Implications, and Pharmacological Managements. [PDF]
CNS Neurosci TherThe cycle between nicotine use and pain modulation. Cigarette smoking leads to nicotine entering the body, which binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain, triggering the release of different neurotransmitters, including dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5‐HT), and GABA.

Exploiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme pathway to augment endogenous opioid signaling. [PDF]
Commun BiolAngiotensin 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 ...

Theoretical conformational analysis of met‐enkephalin [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1977 Two pentapeptides, enkephalins (H-Tyr-Gly- Gly-Phe-X-OH, X = Met or Leu), have recently been isolated from mammalian brain [ 11. Subsequent investigations have mainly concentrated on Met- enkephalin which is synonymous with enkephalin in the present paper. It was assumed on the basis of physiological experiments that enkephalin is the endogenous ligand

Exposure to exogenous enkephalins disrupts reproductive development in the Eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera (Insecta: Orthoptera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Enkephalins play a major role in reproductive physiology in crustaceans; however their role in reproductive development in insects is largely unknown. We investigated the effect of exposure to exogenous leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk), methionine-enkephalin

Opioid mediated activity and expression of mu and delta opioid receptors in isolated human term non-laboring myometrium [PDF]
, 2013 The existence of opioid receptors in mammalian myometrial tissue is now widely accepted. Previously enkephalin degrading enzymes have been shown to be elevated in pregnant rat uterus and a met-enkephalin analogue has been shown to alter spontaneous ...
