Administration of chlordiazepoxide affects [3H][3-MeHis2]thyrotropin-releasing hormone binding in rat brain.

abstract：:Recently we have demonstrated that replacing His(6) by constrained amino acids(2) in the well-known antagonist SHU-9119 resulted in potent and selective antagonist ligands especially at the hMC3R and hMC5 receptors. With the aim to further explore position 6 in the sequence of SHU-9119 and MT-II, we have designed, syn...

abstract：:In sheep, arginine vasopressin (AVP) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) stimulate adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion. Increased hypothalamic secretion of these peptides at the end of gestation initiates parturition in this species. We hypothesized that CRF and/or AVP content in the fetal hypothalamus i...
