One of the milestones in the history of neuroscience research was the discovery of 'enkephalin' by John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz.    From Wordnik.com.  [Media Newswire] Reference

William Frey II, a biochemist at the St Paul-Ramsey Medical Center in Minneapolis, found that tears aren't just salt water; they contain leucine enkephalin, an endorphin that modulates pain, and hormones such as prolactin and adrenocorticotropic hormone, released at times of stress.    From Wordnik.com.  [Brooke Siler: Stress Relief: Why Crying Supports Emotional Wellness] Reference

"In pre-clinical studies, we have found that HSV-mediated transfer of enkephalin can reduce chronic pain," says David Fink, M.D.    From Wordnik.com.  [Health News from Medical News Today] Reference

We found that MOR and one of its ligands (enkephalin) are simultaneously expressed almost exclusively in lymph nodes from patients with Sézary cutaneous T cell lymphoma.    From Wordnik.com.  [Naturejobs - All Jobs] Reference

Among these substances are the hormones adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH, and the neurotransmitter leucine enkephalin, all of which are released when the body is under stress.    From Wordnik.com.  [NYT > Home Page] Reference

In this trial the enkephalin peptide, produced as a result of the gene transfer, will be released selectively in the spinal cord at a site involved in transmitting pain from the affected body part to the brain.    From Wordnik.com.  [Health News from Medical News Today] Reference

In this groundbreaking clinical trial, the investigators will use a vector created from herpes simplex virus (HSV) - the virus that causes cold sores - to deliver the gene for enkephalin, one of the body's own natural pain relievers.    From Wordnik.com.  [Health News from Medical News Today] Reference

Research on human volunteers and animals showed that acupuncture can suppress sensitivity to pain and it does so by activating the body's own painkillers, morphine-like substances in the brain or opioids called endomorphin and enkephalin.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dose.ca Music briefs] Reference

They are: 1) leucine-enkephalin - an endorphin believed to modulate pain sensation 2) ACTH - a hormone considered to be the body's most reliable indicator of stress and 3) prolactin - the hormone which regulates milk production in mammals.    From Wordnik.com.  [TierneyLab] Reference
