A sensitive and simple radioreceptor assay system for measuring methionine(met)-enkephalin-like substance in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was developed using a particulate fraction of rat brain as a receptor preparation and [3H]dihydromorphine as a radiolabeled ligand in the presence of 1 mM ethylenediamine tetracetate (EDTA) and 2 mM magnesium acetate. Metenkephalin-like substance was purified from CSF by the combination of Sephadex G-10 and SP-Sephadex (H+) column chromatographies to be free of sodium and large molecular weight substance such as beta-endorphin. The assays were carried out on samples obtained from normal subjects and patients with the disease of the brain or pituitary by lumbar or ventricular puncture. Mean level in samples obtained from normal subjects by lumbar puncture was 2.6 +/- 1.0 pmoles/ml.

These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D004723 Endorphins One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; OPIOID PEPTIDES is used for the broader group. Endorphin
D004745 Enkephalins One of the three major families of endogenous opioid peptides. The enkephalins are pentapeptides that are widespread in the central and peripheral nervous systems and in the adrenal medulla. Enkephalin
