  • Title: Hormone-releasing stimuli do not alter Met-enkephalin levels in the rat neurohypophysis.
    Author: Morris B, Livingston A.
    Journal: Life Sci; 1983; 33 Suppl 1():511-3. PubMed ID: 6664233.
    Abstract:
    The levels of met-enkephalin in the rat neurohypophysis were measured by radioimmunoassay in four groups of animals. The groups were a control untreated group, a sham operated group, a group subjected to 1% body weight haemorrhage which is an acute hormone releasing stimulus, and a group subjected to four days 2% saline imbibition which is a chronic hormone releasing stimulus. In none of the groups was the met-enkephalin level significantly different from the control value of 1.90 +/- 0.18 ng/gland (n = 10), suggesting that there was no depletion of met-enkephalin concomitant with the depletion of neurohypophysial hormones in the rat.
