Possible involvement of brain prostaglandin E2 and prostanoid EP3 receptors in prostaglandin E2 glycerol ester-induced activation of central sympathetic outflow in the rat.

abstract：:The effect of the inhibition of aminopeptidase and enkephalinase A on the pain threshold of mice and rats was investigated, using bestatin and thiorphan as selective peptidase inhibitors. The results indicate that both enzymes are relevant to the catabolism of enkephalins in vivo; however, their simultaneous activatio...
