Disease relevance of Met-glu-his-phe-arg-trp-gly

 

Psychiatry related information on Met-glu-his-phe-arg-trp-gly

  • The subjects injected with ACTH 4-10 showed a larger improvement in reaction time during the experimental session than the placebo group [6].
  • These results suggest that ACTH 4-10 has no effect on skill acquisition, but counteracts the build-up of reactive inhibition during the experimental session; that is, the peptide suppresses the decrease in motivation, which usually occurs during continuous performance tasks [6].
  • It was concluded that ACTH 4-10 counteracts the usual decay in performance as a function of time-on-task due to increasing boredom and mental fatigue [6].
  • Subcutaneously injected beta-LPH 61-69 or intraventricularly administered beta-endorphin induced a shift from lower to higher frequencies of hippocampal theta rhythm during paradoxical sleep in the same way as that found after ACTH 4-10 [7].
  • Comparative effects of the ACTH 4-9 analogue (ORG 2766), ACTH 4-10 and [D-Phe7] ACTH 4-10 on medial septal self-stimulation behaviour in rats [8].
 

High impact information on Met-glu-his-phe-arg-trp-gly

  • Potent neurotrophic fragments are ACTH 4-10, an analog of ACTH 4-9 (Org 2766), and alpha-MSH (ACTH 1-13), peptide fragments that do not evoke corticosteroid secretion, yet clearly affect both the development and regeneration of peripheral nerve [9].
  • (2) Early postnatal administration of either ACTH 4-10 or Org 2766 accelerates the neuromuscular development of the immature rat, increasing the contractile strength of the EDL muscle and inducing more rapid muscle contractions [9].
  • The increase in ERP slow-wave positivity, in conjunction with behavioral impairments after treatment with ACTH 4-10, complemented previous results of inferior focusing of attention and a less concise structure of thought after administration of ACTH 4-10 [10].
  • Short peptide sequences of ACTH 1-39 (the ACTH 4-9 analog Org 2766, ACTH 4-10 and its analog BIM 22015, and ACTH 1-13 [alpha-MSH]), which do not stimulate the adrenal cortex, have profound effects on the developing and regenerating neuromuscular system, in neonatal and in adult rats [11].
  • We tested [Ala6]ACTH(4-10) and [Phe-I7]ACTH(4-10)(putative MC receptor antagonists), [D-Ala4,Gln5,Tyr6]ACTH(4-10)(BIM 22015), and ACTH (4-10) with radioligand binding using transiently expressed human MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC3 receptors [12].

Gene context of Met-glu-his-phe-arg-trp-gly

  • The order of potency of a number of substance competing for the [125I][Nle4, D-Phe7] alpha-MSH binding was the following; [Nle4, D-Phe7] alpha-MSH > [Nle4]-alpha-MSH > beta-MSH > desacetyl-alpha-MSH > alpha-MSH > ACTH (1-39) > ACTH (4-10) > gamma 1-MSH > gamma 2-MSH [25].
  • Similar treatment with ACTH 4-10 or ACTH 1-24 increased striatal tyrosine hydroxylase activity measured in vitro, but did not significantly alter the enzyme activity from other brain regions [22].
  • Thytrotopin-releasing hormone (TRH), for example, antagonizes the sedation and hypothermia produced by barbiturate and other depressant drugs and de Wied has shown that ACTH 4-10, TRH, LHRH and certain related substances show some activity in inhibition of extinction of a pole-jumping avoidance response in the rat [26].
  • Effects of ACTH 4-10 on the AEPs to inattended stimuli, however, differed from influences of the synthetic analog in that they did not affect a rather wide latency range but concentrated on the latency range of the P200 component [27].
  • Arginine vasopressin, but not ACTH 4-10, prolonged the retention of morphine tolerance when assessed five weeks after the last injection [28].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Met-glu-his-phe-arg-trp-gly

  • After a single (1 mg) as well as prolonged intranasal administration (1 mg/day over a period of 6 weeks), ACTH 4-10 enhanced the positive slow wave in ERPs to target stimuli of the vigilance task (p < 0.05), but left classic P3 unaffected [10].
  • ACTH 4-10 enhanced dimensional complexity of the EEG [29].
  • Double-blind studies of ACTH 4-10 and placebo were conducted in psychiatric patients receiving bilateral ECT to determine whether the polypeptide exerted anti-amnesic effects [30].
  • Hypophysectomy results in markedly deleterious changes in neuromuscular function which can be partially alleviated by the administration of ACTH 4-10 (0.01 microgram/kg) [15].
  • A specific radioimmunoassay for the quantitative measurement of ACTH 4-10 and a procedure for its extraction from plasma have been developed [5].
