Peptides derived from prodynorphin are decreased in basal ganglia of Huntington's disease brains.
The contents of methionine-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu, dynorphin A, dynorphin B and alpha-neoendorphin have been measured in both control and Huntington's disease brains obtained postmortem. All 4 peptides were significantly reduced in the caudate nucleus and putamen of Huntington's disease compared with the control group. No differences were observed in frontal cortex or hypothalamus. Immunocytochemistry showed a marked depletion of dynorphin-like immunoreactivity in Huntington's disease substantia nigra.
