Résumé

A complete normal coordinate analysis of Met5- and Leu5-enkephalins using Wilson's GF matrix method and Urey Bradley force field has been carried out to understand the dynamical behaviour of enkephalins. In addition, the charge distributions on different atoms of the two enkephalins and morphine using CNDO/2 method are also reported. The similarity in the charge distribution on the part of these two molecules is indicative of the possible interactions at the same receptor site as that of morphine and its derivatives. Apart from the topographical features and charge distribution, binding onto receptor site is not a static but a dynamic process and low frequency modes must play an important role in the recognition process. The significance of the out-of-plane amide VII band and other skeletal modes as characteristic of conformational states of Met5- and Leu5-enkephalins are discussed.

Résumé

Protein malnutrition during suckling period or throughout the life affects the hypothalamic ß-endorphinergic system of adult rats. In the present study, rats were under nourished during suckling by feeding their dams an 8% casein diet whereas well-nourished dams recived a 25% casein diet from birth until weaning (21 day of postnatal life). After weaning, the offsprings were maintained with the same diet as their dams. When rats were 3 month-old, they were subjected to two-way active avoidance task. Protein malnutrition did not affect the performance in the two-way active avoidance task. Post-training ß-endorphin or Met-enkephalin administration impaired the retention of shuttle avoidance tast in both well-nourished and undernourished rats. However, the amnesic effect of the peptides was only achieved in undernourished rats with higher doses of apioids when compared to the well-nourished rats. These data suggest that undernourished rats present alterations in opioid sensitivity which may be related to changes in the levels of ß-endorphin previously observed both in brain and hypothalamus of early undernourished adults rats
