Description
An opioid neuropeptide; induces concentration-dependent decreases in electrically stimulated contraction of the mouse vas deferens; slows gastrointestinal transit in mice; stimulates food intake in rats for 4 to 6 hours (0.5 or 5 μg, i.c.v.); reduces paralytic demyelination induced by the murine coronavirus MHV-JHM in immunocompetent mice and rats
