Abstract
Dehydration significantly reduced the concentration of immunoreactive dynorphin A(1-17), dynorphin A(1-8), alpha-neo-endorphin, beta-neo-endorphin, and leu-enkephalin in the rat pituitary posterior-intermediate lobe. A statistically significant increase in immunoreactive dynorphin A(1-8), alpha-neo-endorphin and leu-enkephalin was observed in the hypothalamus. Comparison of the molar ratios of dynorphin A(1-17): dynorphin A(1-8) and alpha-neo-endorphin: beta-neo-endorphin showed an altered profile of stored pro-dynorphin cleavage products in the posterior-intermediate lobe of the pituitary of dehydrated rats.Entities:
