Increasing brain expression of the endogenous opioid peptide may contribute to the cognitive impairment triggered by Aβ production, according to a new study from the lab of Lennart Mucke and ...

The slogan for Pringles, "once you pop, you can’t stop," may be true, and not just because they are delicious. Scientists have found that something in our brains makes us indulge in food as well as ...

[Leu]Enkephalin (400.0 μ g/kg) and the enkephalin analog [DAla,DLeu]enkephalin (0.4, 4.0, and 40.0 μ g/kg) were intraperitoneally administered to rats 5 min before they were trained on aversively ...

Phase II Study of Lapatinib in Combination With Trastuzumab in Patients With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: Clinical Outcomes and Predictive Value of Early ...

Scientists have discovered a brain area that helps control your desire to eat sweet, hyper-palatable foods like chocolate. The area, part of a larger brain region called the striatum, had previously ...

The hypothesis is tested that methionine-enkephalin, a hormone produced in and released from eyestalk of crustaceans, produces hyperglycemia indirectly by stimulating the release of hyperglycemic ...

image: Extracellular enkephalin levels surged when rats began to eat milk chocolate M&Ms. Onset of eating coincided with a robust increase in extracellular enkephalin (met and leu), which remained ...

Acute hypoxia alters the content of the neuropeptide methionine enkephalin (ME) within specific brainstem regions involved in respiratory control. This alteration is both age and region specific (Ped ...

A part of the brain usually associated with movement may also control our responses to rewards, according to new research that finds stimulation of the region with an opium-like chemical can make rats ...
