The addictive pull of many drugs may depend at least partly on the mobilization of corticotropin-releasing factor by the amygdala and some related areas, they propose. Dynamic training and circulating levels of corticotropin-releasing factor, beta-lipotropin, and beta-endorphin in rheumatoid arthritis. The structure determination of: (i) dermorphin (the first example of a Vertebrate peptide with a D-aminoacid in its sequence)) (ii) sauvagine (an amphibian polypeptide analogue to the corticotropin-releasing factor (=CRF); the structure elucidation of sauvagine has anticipated that of CRH) represent two relevant scientific results. |
