The role of immune responses and microbiota in adipose tissue homeostasis. [PDF]

J Physiol
Abstract figure legend Gut microbiota regulate white and brown adipose tissue homeostasis via modulation of gut hormone secretion, activation of pathogen‐associated pattern receptors and production of bioactive molecules and metabolites such as short‐chain fatty acids, endocannabinoids, amino acid derivates and bile acids, all of which affect ...

Human hepatic met-enkephalin and delta opioid receptor-1 immunoreactivities in viral and autoimmune hepatitis

Annals of Hepatology, 2008
Endogenous opioids participate in growth regulation. Liver regeneration relates to growth. Thus, we explored the expression of methionine enkephalin and of the delta opioid receptor 1 immunoreactivities with a polyclonal rabbit antibody in deparaffinized

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

New Aspects of Thromboangiitis obliterans (von Winiwarter-Buerger's Disease) [PDF]

, 1984
The existence of thromboangiitis obliterans as a clinical entity has been a matter of debate for many years. In contrast to other immunovasculitides there is no organ involvement while peripheral vessels are affected.

Actions of D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin and dynorphin A (1–17) on neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]

, 1984
Intracellular recordings were made from neocortical neurons in vitro. Application of D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADL) by different methods produced a decrease in EPSP amplitude and in the amplitude of L-glutamate-induced depolarizations without changes in
