Opioids from Immune Cells Interact with Receptors on Sensory Nerves to Inhibit Nociception in Inflammation
Recent evidence indicates that exogenous opioids can produce pronounced antinociceptive effects by interacting with local opioid receptors in peripheral inflamed tissue [1–4]. Activation of endogenous opioid s...

Peptide neuroanatomy of adjuvant-induced arthritic inflammation in rat
The influence of adjuvant-induced arthritis of the rat on central and peripheral peptide neuroanatomy was investigated by immunohistochemistry. The most striking feature of arthritic rats was the differential ...

Isolation and structure of a novel C-terminally amidated opioid peptide, amidorphin, from bovine adrenal medulla
Biologically active peptide hormones and neurotransmitters have been shown to be enzymatically liberated from larger, inactive precursor molecules by tissue-specific post-translational processing, particularly...

Differential effects of various opioid peptides on vasopressin and oxytocin release from the rat pituitary in vitro
Dynorphin (1–17), and to a lesser extent, β-endorphin and [Leu]enkephalin (10−6 M each) decreased the spontaneous release of vasopressin (VP) from the rat neurointermediate pituitary in vitro, whereas the oxytoci...

The effect of neuroleptic treatment and of high dosage diazepam therapy onβ-endorphin immunoreactivity in plasma of schizophrenic patients
In 14 schizophrenic patients, treated with neuroleptic drugs, and in 7 patients, treated with high-dosage diazepam,β-endorphin-like immunoreactivity in plasma has been measured by use of a highly sensitive and re...

Effect of Starvation on Central Neurotransmitter Systems and on Endocrine Regulation
Amenorrhea is one of the early symptoms of anorexia nervosa. Detailed analyses of the 24-h sleep-wake pattern of gonadotropin secretion (Pirke et al. 1979) and of the luteinizing hormone (LH) response to synth...

Effects of depletion of brain catecholamines during the development of morphine dependence on precipitated withdrawal in rats
The significance of long term depletion of brain catecholamines (CAs) for the development of morphine dependence and for the expression of morphine withdrawal was studied in rats which were implanted with morp...
