Plasma Methionine-Enkephalin and Leucine-Enkephalin in Normal Subjects and Patients with Pheochromocytoma*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1983
Plasma methionine-enkephalin-like and leucine-enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (met-enkephalin-LI and leu-enkephalin-LI, respectively) in six normal subjects and six patients with pheochromocytoma were determined. The contents of met-enkephalin-LI and leu-enkephalin-LI in two of six pheochromocytomas were 40- to 50-fold higher and those in the other ...

Investigation of the pyrolysis products of methionine-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, 2010
Low-temperature pyrolysis of methionine-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu has been carried out and the non-volatile residues have been analyzed. The fragments were separated and characterized by LC-UV/Vis-MS/MS. Two major types of pyrolysis products were identified

Influence of methionine-enkephalin on stress-induced parameters

International Journal of Immunopharmacology, 1998
This study examines the influence of methionine-enkephalin (MENK) on stress-induced oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation; LPO) in mice liver homogenate, plasma corticosterone concentration (CS) and phagocytic activity of mouse splenocytes. The LPO value increased in the mice subjected to restraint stress and had no correlation to stress duration, while

Stabilization of methionine-enkephalin in human and rat blood

Life Sciences, 1986
Methods of preventing the degradation of 3H-methionine-enkephalin (3H-ME) in human blood both at 37 degrees C and under conditions of immediate cooling were examined. We found that, contrary to previous suggestions, use of aprotinin (with or without immediate cooling) was ineffective in preventing the degradation of 3H-ME in blood.

Effect of methionine-enkephalin on xanthophore aggregation

Peptides, 1980
The intracranial injection of an opioid antagonist (naloxone) caused aggregation of xanthophores in goldfish scales. This aggregating effect produced by naloxone was inhibited by an injection of methionine-enkephalin (M-ENK). M-ENK, when injected together with melatonin which normally produces aggregation of xanthophores, interfered with the effect of ...

Methionine enkephalin and isosteric analogues. I. Synthesis on a phenolic resin support.

International journal of peptide & protein research, 2009
An efficient synthesis of methionine enkephalin using a phenolic resin support is described. Analogues modified at their C-termini, such as peptide acids, amides, methyl esters and compounds formed by their reduction, were prepared conveniently from ...

Methionine enkephalin metabolism by murine macrophage ectopeptidase(s)

Regulatory Peptides, 1994
Ectopeptidases which hydrolyze opioid and other neuropeptides have been identified in brain, kidney and intestine. In this study, identification of the enzymes metabolizing the opioid peptide methionine enkephalin (YGGFM) in murine macrophages was undertaken.
