  • Title: Enkephalinergic markers in substantia nigra and caudate nucleus from Parkinsonian subjects.
    Author: Llorens-Cortes C, Javoy-Agid F, Agid Y, Taquet H, Schwartz JC.
    Journal: J Neurochem; 1984 Sep; 43(3):874-7. PubMed ID: 6086841.
    Abstract:
    Marked reductions in opiate receptor binding (-42%), "enkephalinase" activity (-39%), and Met5-enkephalin levels (-72%) accompanied the well-established dopamine depletion in the substantia nigra pars compacta of Parkinsonian subjects. In contrast, enkephalinergic markers were not significantly modified in caudate nucleus.
