Journal ArticleDOI
Analgesia induced in vivo by central administration of enkephalin in rat
James D. Belluzzi,Norman Kennedy Grant,Victor Garsky,Dimitrios Sarantakis,C. David Wise,Larry Stein +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that methionine–enkephalin and leucine–eniophalin, when administered through permanently indwelling cannulae in the lateral ventricles of rats, induce a profound analgesia in vivo that is fully reversible by naloxone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton magnetic resonance studies of conformation and flexibility of enkephalin peptides.
TL;DR: Proton magnetic resonance (PMR) studies of Met5-enkephalin indicate that the methionine amino proton is involved in a hydrogen bond, most probably within a Gly–Gly–Phe–Met type I β turn, but not with a turn involving Tyr-Gly-Phe as proposed previously6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enkephalin-stimulated prolactin release.
TL;DR: In monolayer cultures of rat pituitaries both enkephalins released prolactin at concentrations as low as 5 ng/ml, and Administration of methionine-enkephalin to rats resulted in a consistent increase in plasma Prolactin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation of somatostatin effects. Peptides inhibiting the release of growth hormone but not glucagon or insulin in rats
Norman Kennedy Grant,Donald G. Clark,Victor Garsky,Ivars Jaunakais,William H. McGregor,Dimitrios Sarantakis +5 more
TL;DR: Two analogs of somatostatin significantly suppressed pentobarbital- Stimulated growth hormone release but showed no effect on arginine-stimulated glucagon or insulin release at dosages greater than 2 mg/kg.
Patent
[Des-Ala1, Gly2 -desamino-Cys3 ]somatostatin
TL;DR: The growth hormone release inhibiting undecapeptide of the formula Nα-(3-mercaptopropionyl)-L-Lys-L-Asn-L Phe-L L-Phe L-Trp L-Thr-L -Phe -L-Ser-L Cys cyclic disulfide as discussed by the authors.
