Plasma levels and biochemical characterisation of circulating met-enkephalin in canine endotoxin shock. 1984

S F Evans, and S Medbak, and C J Hinds, and S J Tomlin, and J G Varley, and L H Rees

Endogenous opioid peptides have been implicated in the pathophysiology of shock (1-5). In anaesthetised mongrel dogs, administration of E coli endotoxin caused a rise in plasma met-enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (MLI). Biochemical characterisation of MLI by gel filtration chromatography revealed various molecular forms: 31K, 8K, 3-5K and the native pentapeptide in approximately equal amounts. After enzymatic treatment of column fractions the 31K form predominated (90.7%). This is the first demonstration of elevated MLI in endotoxin shock.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
