Changes of cerebral gamma glutamyltransferase activities after treatment with exogenous inducers.

abstract：:The overlapping distribution of opioid and cholecystokinin (CCK) peptides and their receptors (mu and delta opioid receptors; CCK-A and CCK-B receptors) in the central nervous system have led to a large number of studies aimed at clarifying the functional relationships between these two neuropeptides. Most of the phar...
