Central Injection of Endomorphin-2, but not Endomorphin-1, Increases Food Intake in Chicks via μ1-opioid Receptors

Central Injection of Endomorphin-2, but not Endomorphin-1, Increases Food Intake in Chicks via μ1-opioid Receptors

The endogenous tetrapeptides endomorphin-1 and -2 are potent, selective μ-opioid receptor agonists in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of endomorphins enhances feeding behavior in chicks, and to investigate the interaction with the μ1-opioid r...
