Aquaculture Reports, 2020 The involvement of endogenous opioid peptides in regulation of reproductive activity is implicated in a majority of vertebrates. Methionine-enkephalin (M-ENK) is an endogenous opioid peptide neurotransmitter produced in the central nervous system ...

Maturation of Circulatory Responses to Methionine-Enkephalin [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1983 The cardiovascular and respiratory effects of the naturally occurring endogenous opiate, methionine-enkephalin, were studied in 23 fetal sheep, five newborn lambs, 15 pregnant sheep, and four nonpregnant ewes. The opiate peptide produced dose-dependent decreases in heart rate and blood pressure in fetal and neonatal lambs but increased heart rate and ...

Cell Transplantation, 2013 Transplantation of allogeneic adrenal chromaffin cells demonstrated the promise of favorable outcomes for pain relief in patients. However, there is a very limited availability of suitable human adrenal gland tissues, genetically well-matched donors in ...

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 ...

Acetaldehyde‐enkephalins: pronounced changes in the opiate activity of methionine‐enkephalin and leucine‐enkephalin on reaction with acetaldehyde [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1980 We have shown that the two major endogenous opioid peptides, methionine-enkephalin and leucineenkephalin [ 1,2] (enkephalin [Met’] and enkephalin[Leu’]) rapidly react with acetaldehyde in aqueous buffers to give a stable ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin’ adduct, referred to as ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin[Met’]’ and ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin [Leu’]‘, respectively ...

Biomimetic Chemistry on Tandem Protein/Lipid Damages under Reductive Radical Stress
CHIMIA, 2008 The study of radical stress in the biological environment needs a comprehensive vision of all possible reactive species and their mechanisms. Among them, reductive stress is evaluated for its selective target of sulfur-containing compounds.
