Total opioid peptide receptoractivity in human cerebrospinal fluid is measured in patients who are experiencing lower back pain. Desalted CSF is eluted from a C18 Sep-Pak and is subjected to a radioreceptorassay (RRA) that employs tritiated etorphin, which is a ligand that is effectively displaced b
Using a specific radioimmunoassay we have measured somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLIR) of CSF in patients with brain atrophy, spinal spasticity, seizures, brain tumors and inflammatory disorders. Patients with marked brain atrophy had significantly decreased somatostatin levels in CSF. In pati
