Abstract

The role of endogenous opioid peptides in the regulation of bronchomotor tone, as well as in the pathophysiology of asthma is uncertain. We have studied the binding of highly selective [3H]labeled ligands of mu-([D-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly-ol5]enkephalin; DAMGO), delta ([D-Pen2, D-Pen5]enkephalin; DPDPE), and kappa-(U-69,593) opioid receptors to membranes of trachea, main bronchus, lung parenchyma and pulmonary artery obtained from normal (unsensitized) and actively IgE-sensitized rats acutely challenged with the specific antigen. [3H]DAMGO, [3H]DPDPE and [3H]U-69,593 bound to membranes of normal and sensitized tissues at a saturable, single high-affinity site. The rank order of receptor densities in normal tissues was delta- > or = kappa- > or = mu-, with lung parenchyma exhibiting the greatest binding capacity for delta- and mu- receptors compared to the other regions examined. The Kd values showed small differences between ligands and regions tested. The mu- and delta-opioid receptor densities were decreased in sensitized main bronchus and lung parenchyma, respectively, compared to normal tissues. By contrast, kappa-opioid receptor density was augmented in sensitized lung parenchyma but an increase in Kd values was also observed. T...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
