A close neuroanatomical relationship between the enkephalinergic (methionine-enkephalin) and tachykininergic (substance P) systems in the alpaca diencephalon

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2020
INTRODUCTION: In the alpaca diencephalon, the distribution of immunoreactive cell bodies and fibers containing methionine-enkephalin (MET) or substance P (SP) has been studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The immunohistochemical study was performed by standard

Reconstructing the free-energy landscape of Met-enkephalin using dihedral Principal Component Analysis and Well-tempered Metadynamics

, 2012
Well-Tempered Metadynamics (WTmetaD) is an efficient method to enhance the reconstruction of the free-energy surface of proteins. WTmetaD guarantees a faster convergence in the long time limit in comparison with the standard metadynamics.

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.

Enteric neuromodulators and mucus discharge in a fish infected with the intestinal helminth Pomphorhynchus laevis

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background In vertebrates, the presence of enteric worms can induce structural changes to the alimentary canal impacting on the neuroendocrine system, altering the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and affecting the occurrence and relative

Generalized-ensemble Monte carlo method for systems with rough energy landscape

, 1997
We present a novel Monte Carlo algorithm which enhances equilibrization of low-temperature simulations and allows sampling of configurations over a large range of energies.

Met-enkephalin-induced mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ in rat intracardiac ganglion neurones [PDF]

, 1999
The effects of Met-enkephalin on Ca2+-dependent K+ channel activity were investigated using the cell-attached patch recording technique on isolated parasympathetic neurones of rat intracardiac ganglia. Large-conductance, Ca2+-dependent K+ channels (BKCa)

The effect of naltrexone as a carboplatin chemotherapy-associated drug on the immune response, quality of life and survival of dogs with mammary carcinoma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) as a carboplatin chemotherapy-associated drug in female dogs with mammary carcinoma in benign mixed tumors (MC-BMT) after mastectomy and to assess its association with ...

Global Optimization by Energy Landscape Paving [PDF]

, 2002
We introduce a novel heuristic global optimization method, energy landscape paving (ELP), which combines core ideas from energy surface deformation and tabu search. In appropriate limits, ELP reduces to existing techniques.

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.
