  text: An ultra-low dose (10-14 M) of opioid peptide [D-Ala2]methionine enkephalinamide
    (DAMEA) is found to exert an inhibitory effect on the production of reactive oxygen
    species (respiratory burst) in human neutrophils. The validity of this phenomenon
    has been verified in a series of studies that comprised 30 experiments. The inhibition
    has proved to be statistically significant (P&lt;0.001). The dose-response dependence
    of the effect (10-15-10-9 M) followed a characteristic biphasic pattern (with
    the maximum effect at ultra-low doses). An opioid antagonist, naloxone partially
    blocks the inhibitory effect, which indicates that the DAMEA action is at least
    partially mediated by opioid receptors.

  text: The family of mammalian tachykinin receptors consists of substance P receptor
    (SPR), neuromedin K receptor (NKR) and substance K receptor (SKR). In this investigation,
    tissue and regional distributions of the mRNAs for the three rat tachykinin receptors
    were investigated by blot-hybridization and RNase-protection analyses using the
    previously cloned receptor cDNAs. SPR mRNA is widely distributed in both the nervous
    system and peripheral tissues and is expressed abundantly in the hypothalamus
    and olfactory buld, as well as in the urinary bladder, salivary glands and small
    and large intestines. In contrast, NKR mRNA is predominantly expressed in the
    nervous system, particularly in the cortex, hypothalamus and cerebellum, whereas
    SKR mRNA expression is restricted to the peripheral tissues, being abundant in
    the urinary bladder, large intestine, stomach and adenal glands. Thus, the mRNAs
    for the three tachykinin receptors show distinct patterns of expression between
    the nervous system and peripheral tissues. Blot-hybridization analysis in combination
    with S1 nuclease protection and primer-extension analyses revealed that there
    are two large forms of SKR mRNA expressed commonly in the peripheral tissues,
    and two additional small forms of the mRNA expressed specifically in the adrenal
    gland and eye. These analyses also showed that the multiple forms of SKR mRNA
    differ in the lengths of the 5' mRNA portions, and that the two small forms of
    the mRNA, if translated, encode a truncated SKR polypeptide lacking the first
    two transmembrane domains. This investigation thus provides the comprehensive
    analysis of the distribution and mode of expression of the mRNAs for the multiple
    peptide receptors and offers a new basis on which to interpret the diverse functions
    of multiple tachykinin peptides in the CNS and peripheral tissues.
