Abstract:
:A motor disorder similar to idiopathic Parkinson's Disease develops in rhesus monkeys after several daily repeated doses of N-methyl-4-phenyl, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The concentrations of peptides derived from proenkephalin A, proenkephalin B, substance P and somatostatin were measured by specific radioimmunoassays in the basal ganglia of MPTP-treated monkeys. In MPTP-treated monkeys, dynorphin B concentration was reduced in the caudate. In the putamen, the concentrations of peptides derived from both proenkephalin A and proenkephalin B were decreased. In the globus pallidus, the concentrations of all opioid peptides tend to be increased, reaching significance only for alpha-neo-endorphin. In the substantia nigra, only Met-enkephalin concentration was reduced, while other peptides derived from either proenkephalin A or proenkephalin B were not changed. Substance P and somatostatin were not changed in any brain area examined. Some of the symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease may be related to altered activity of endogenous opiates in basal ganglia.
