โฆ Synopsis
The new opioid heptapeptide dermorphin, first isolated from frog skin, has been localized immunohistochemically in nerve cell bodies and nerve fibers of the arcuate-periarcuate region, around the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) and in the subfornical organ of the rat brain. A role of dermorphin in modulating LHRH release is suggested.

The cannabinoid receptor family consists of two inhibitory G-protein-coupled receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB1 is distributed primarily in neural tissue, whereas CB2 is distributed predominantly in immune cells. The distribution of cannabinoid receptors in neural tissue has been demonstrated by using liga
