The effect of natural Met-enkephalin and its analogues Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Cys(Et) (I) and Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Cys(Bu) (II) on serum rat prolactin and rat growth hormone levels in male rats has been studied. Met-enkephalin and both analogues increased serum growth hormone and prolactin concentration, analogue I being the most potent. Enkephalin analogue I, with isosteric isomer of methionine in Met-enkephalin, and analogue II with butyl residue showed a lower stimulatory effect than natural Met-enkephalin. Stimulatory effect of analogues I and II on prolactin and growth hormone release was found to be reversed by a simultaneous treatment with the opiate antagonist naloxone.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D004744 Enkephalin, Methionine One of the endogenous pentapeptides with morphine-like activity. It differs from LEU-ENKEPHALIN by the amino acid METHIONINE in position 5. Its first four amino acid sequence is identical to the tetrapeptide sequence at the N-terminal of BETA-ENDORPHIN.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
