Pharmacological Preconditioning: Role of Opioid Peptides

open access: yesОбщая реаниматология, 2012
The review deals with the mechanisms of action of opioids and the synthetic analogue of endogenous leuenkephaline dalargin. It discusses the relation of delta-opioid receptors to the phenomenon of pharmacological preconditioning that may explain the ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Association of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists With Cancer Risk in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The real‐world evidence on the association between glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) and cancer risk remains limited and mixed. Methods In 2013–2020 national Medicare claims data, we included cancer‐naïve patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We identified those who initiated GLP‐1 RA, sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of the age-dependency of opioid analgesia and tolerance

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2012
The age-dependency of opioid analgesia and tolerance has been noticed in both clinical observation and laboratory studies. Evidence shows that many molecular and cellular events that play essential roles in opioid analgesia and tolerance are actually age-

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...

Responses of substantia gelatinosa neurons to putative neurotransmitters in an in vitro preparation of the adult rat spinal cord [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Extracellular recordings were performed from neurons of the substantia gelatinosa (SG) in an in vitro preparation obtained from the spinal cord of adult rats. About 40% of neurons were spontaneously active.

Predicting Pharmacological Treatment Response in Migraine Using AI/ML: A Scoping Review of the Evidence and Future Directions

open access: yesPharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The treatment of migraine is hampered by inter‐individual variability, leading to an inefficient “trial and error” approach. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer a path towards precision medicine by predicting therapeutic outcomes.
