  • Title: Changes in dynorphin, enkephalin and cholecystokinin content of hippocampus and substantia nigra after amygdala kindling.
    Author: Iadarola MJ, Shin C, McNamara JO, Yang HY.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1986 Feb 12; 365(1):185-91. PubMed ID: 2868784.
    Abstract:
    Amygdaloid kindling of rats produced an increase in hippocampal Met5-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8 and cholecystokinin immunoreactivities and simultaneously a decrease in dynorphin A1-8 content. In substantia nigra Met5-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8 was increased and no change was observed in dynorphin A1-8 content. These data suggest that specific alterations of neuropeptides in limbic and extrapyramidal circuits are prominent manifestations of the kindling process or kindled seizures.
