Immunocytochemical and ultrastructural differentiation between Met-enkephalin-, Leu-enkephalin-, and Met/Leu-enkephalin-immunoreactive neurons of feline gut.
Selective immunocytochemical procedures, applied at the light and electron microscopical level, have resulted in the identification of three types of enkephalin-immunoreactive nerves in the feline gastrointestinal tract, including neurons containing either Met- or Leu-enkephalin immunoreactivity or those simultaneously storing both Met- and Leu-enkephalin immunoreactants. The three different ty...
متن کاملRegulation of Bone Metabolism
Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...
متن کاملProbable precursors of [Leu]enkephalin and [Met]enkephalin in adrenal medulla: peptides of 3-5 kilodaltons.
Adrenal chromaffin granules contain at least 10 peptides, ranging in size from 3 to 5 kilodaltons, that yield, upon digestion with trypsin, peptides that show specific binding to opiate receptors. All are distinctly different from beta-endorphin. Two of these peptides have been purified to homogeneity and subjected to chemical analysis. One is apparently a [Met]enkephalin precursor containing t...
متن کاملEndooligopeptidase A activity in rabbit heart: generation of enkephalin from enkephalin containing peptides.
Two endopeptidases displaying similar specificities towards peptide hormone substrates but differing in molecular size have been identified in rabbit heart and isolated by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration and preparative gel electrophoresis. These two enzymes share several properties with the previously described rabbit brain endooligopeptidase A. They were shown to ...
متن کاملIn vitro release of [5-methionine]enkephalin and [5-leucine]-enkephalin from the rat globus pallidus.
Endogenous [5-methionine]enkephalin (Metenkephalin) and [5-leucine]enkephalin (Leu-enkephalin) are released from perfused slices of rat globus pallidus by increased K(+) in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Tissue perfused for 40 min contained only 26% of the Met-enkephalin and 44% of the Leu-enkephalin found in the freshly dissected tissue. After perfusion, the mean (+/-SEM) ratio (wt/wt) of Met-enke...
