In this study, the effects of lead ions(Pb^(2+)) on the conformations of leucine encephalin(LE) and methionine encephalin(ME) in gas phase were studied using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry(HDX-MS) and q...
Scorpion has strong analgesic effects, but its analgesic mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of scorpion powder on enkephalin expression in the midbrain of rats with nitroglycerin-induced mi...
Toutongning capsule is used for the treatment of migraine headaches, and has yielded therapeutically beneficial effects. However, whether Toutongning capsule exerts its effects via endogenous opioid peptides remains p...
The opioid growth factor (OGF) and its receptor (OGFr) regulate human ovarian cancer cell proliferation through a tonically active inhibitory axis. We investigated the effect of OGFr overexpression on ovarian tumorige...
Ovarian cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Seventy-five percent of ovarian cancer patients present in advanced stages, and receive cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Ho...
