Methionine-enkephalin inhibits stress-induced increases in noradrenaline turnover in brain regions of rats. 1985

M Tanaka, and A Tsuda, and Y Ida, and I Ushijima, and S Tsujimaru, and N Nagasaki

Met-Enkephalin injected i.c.v. attenuated stress-induced increases in levels of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol sulfate, the major metabolite of brain noradrenaline, in the hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, midbrain and LC region in rats. The data suggest that Met-enkephalin acts to attenuate stress-induced increases in noradrenaline turnover in these brain regions in rats.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
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.
