Clonidine 54-63 pro-opiomelanocortin-alpha Mus musculus 160-174 21324347-5 2011 The results indicate that clonidine administration during the first stage of the test exerts an equivalent inhibition on sodium intake regardless of the genotype; however, in the final stage of the test, a reversal of the inhibitory response on induced sodium appetite becomes evident in the mice lacking beta-endorphin. Clonidine 26-35 pro-opiomelanocortin-alpha Mus musculus 305-319 7684446-5 1993 The N-acetyl derivative of beta-endorphin-(1-31) (1 pmol) increased the antinociceptive response of DAMGO, D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin and clonidine, but not of morphine, in SP-pretreated mice. Clonidine 136-145 pro-opiomelanocortin-alpha Mus musculus 27-41 1447947-8 1992 It is concluded that opioids and clonidine promote analgesia after binding to receptors functionally coupled to Gi/G(o) proteins, moreover, the activity of morphine, beta-endorphin and clonidine in this test seems to be counteracted by a process involving activation of Gs alpha transducer proteins. Clonidine 33-42 pro-opiomelanocortin-alpha Mus musculus 166-180
