Effects of Quercetin and ACTH on Morphine-Induced Tolerance and Dependence in Mice

     The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of quercetin and ACTH injection on prevention of development of morphine tolerance and dependence in mice. In this study different groups of mice received morphine (40 mg/kg, i.p.) plus quercetin (5, 10, 25 mg/kg, ip), ACTH (1, 2.5, 5 IU/mice, i.p.), or combination of quercetin (5 mg/kg) and ACTH (1 IU/mice) once a day for four days. Toler...

A rapid method, using octadecasilyl-silica, for the extraction of certain peptides from tissues.

Peptides can be recovered from tissues by homogenization in a carefully selected extraction medium followed by adsorption from the supernatant on a small bed of octadecasilyl-silica. Recoveries of corticotropins and somatostatin added to a variety of tissues were quantitative, and the peptides undamaged as determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography.
