Baker Institute - Cardiac synthesis, processing, and coronary release of enkephalin-related peptides

Chemical sympathectomy produced an increase in total enkephalin content similar to that observed after 2-h control perfusion. This observation suggested that the normal turnover of myocardial enkephalin may depend in part on continued sympathetic influences.
