Isolation of a novel 38 residue-hypothalamic polypeptide which stimulates adenylate cyclase in pituitary cells

TL;DR: A novel neuropeptide which stimulates adenylate cyclase in rat anterior pituitary cell cultures was isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues and increased release of growth hormone, prolactin, corticotropin and luteinizing hormone from superfused rat pituitaries at as small a dose as 10(-10)M) or 10(-9)M (LH).
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue distribution of PACAP as determined by RIA: highly abundant in the rat brain and testes.

TL;DR: The highest concentration of radioimmunoassayable PACAP38 was found in the hypothalamus, but other brain regions also contained considerable amounts ofPACAP38, and the total amount of PACAP in both testes exceeded its content in the whole brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of gastrin and gastric-acid secretion by growth-hormone release-inhibiting hormone

TL;DR: The hypothalamic polypeptide growth-hormone release-inhibiting hormone (G.H.R.I.H.) inhibited gastrin release in all subjects studied and greatly lowered plasma-gastrin concentrations and almost totally suppressed gastric-acid production.
Journal Article

The antimicrobial peptides and their potential clinical applications

TL;DR: To open the clinical applications, it is necessary and important to develop the synthetic and long-lasting AMP analogs that overcome the disadvantages of their natural peptides and the potential problems for the drug candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynorphin Immunocytochemistry in the Rat Central Nervous System

TL;DR: The results suggest that dynorphin occurs in neuronal systems that are immunocytochemically distinct from those containing other opioid peptides.
