Interaction between des-Tyr1-gamma-endorphin and HLA class I molecules: serological detection of an HLA-A2 subtype.

Immunogenetics 22(4) , 309-14, (1985)

Preincubation of lymphocytes with des-Tyr1-gamma-endorphin (DT gamma E) inhibits the reaction between some HLA alloantisera and their corresponding antigens. One HLA-A2-specific antiserum was found which could detect a subtype of the HLA-A2 antigen on DT gamm...

Des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin effects on morphine analgesia in mice.

Gen. Pharmacol. 24(1) , 83-8, (1993)

1. The effects that were induced by a beta-lipotropin fragment des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin (DT gamma E) devoid of opiate activity that was administered intraperitoneally or intracerebroventricularly to mice under morphine analgesia were investigated. The int...

Short-lived effect of (Des-Tyr)-gamma-endorphin in schizophrenia.

Psychiatry Res. 10(4) , 243-52, (1983)

Des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin (DT gamma E) has been reported to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia. Attempting to replicate those reports, we administered 1 mg of DT gamma E, i.m., for 8 consecutive days to nine patients meeting the DSM-III criteria for schiz...

Subchronic treatment with fragments of beta-endorphin prevents electroencephalographic seizures and behavioral alterations induced by centrally administered beta-endorphin in the rabbit.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 268(2) , 1040-50, (1994)

The effects of some beta-endorphin fragments with neuroleptic-like properties, i.e., tau-endorphin, des-tyr1-tau-endorphin (DT tau E), desenkephalin-tau-endorphin (DE tau E), in comparison with the dopaminergic antagonist haloperidol,- were studied on the EEG...

Criteria for evaluating improvement in schizophrenia in psychopharmacological research (with special reference to gamma endorphin fragments).

Br. J. Psychiatry 153 , 354-8, (1988)

A review of treatment trials with DT gamma E revealed widely discrepant results. Relevant variables were the variety of measures employed for monitoring psychotic symptoms, and the different criteria used to judge the degree of improvement. The authors sugges...

A treatment trial with an analog of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (DN-1417) and des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin in schizophrenia.

Int. Clin. Psychopharmacol. 1(4) , 303-13, (1986)

Clinical prospects of an analog of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (DN-1417) and des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin (DT gamma E) in schizophrenia were examined by using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the electroencephalogram (EEG). Twelve inpatients wi...

Beta-endorphin fragments (DT gamma E and DE gamma E) reduce opiate withdrawal in guinea pig ileum.

Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry 26(2) , 313-9, (2002)

The effect exerted by two beta-endorphin fragments (DTgammaE and DEgammaE) was investigated on the acute opioid dependence induced by mu, kappa and delta receptor agonists in vitro. After a 4-min in vitro exposure to morphine (less selective mu agonist), DAGO...

Guinea-pigs treated with beta-endorphin fragments DTgammaE and DEgammaE exhibit reduced morphine inhibition of electrically-induced contractions.

Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry 24(1) , 51-9, (2000)

The effect exerted by two gamma-endorphin derivatives (DTgammaE and DEgammaE) was investigated on morphine-induced inhibition on the electrically contractions of guinea pig ileum in vitro. Morphine (1x10(-8)-5x10(-8)-1x10(-7) M) dose dependently and significa...

Effect of des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin on neocortical spike-and-wave spindling in DBA/2J mice.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 261(1-2) , 209-12, (1994)

The effect of a beta-endorphin cleavage product devoid of opioid effects, des-tyrosine-gamma-endorphin (DT gamma E) on the neocortical spike-and-wave spindling episodes in the electrocorticogram (ECoG) of DBA/2J mice was studied. DT gamma E (0.01-1.0 mg/kg, i...

Porphyrin synthesis in primary nervous tissue cultures from 10(-3) M delta-aminolaevulinic acid in the presence of melatonin and neuropeptides.

Neurochem. Res. 11(5) , 607-15, (1986)

Of the primary neuronal tissue cultures (glia cell, neuronal cells, mixed and retina cultures), the neuronal cells of (cells + medium) display the highest total porphyrin production from 10(-3) M delta-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA). In the presence of 10(-3)-10(...
