Effect of methionine-, leucine-enkephalin (met-, leu-enkephalin) and substance P on the transmission in mouse vas deferens was studied. Both met- and leu-enkephalin inhibited electrically induced contraction of vas deferens at 10(-8)-10(7) M, met-enkephalin being 1.4 times more active than leu-enkephalin. Nalorphine (10(-6) M) antagonized these effects. Substance P (10(-9)-10(-7) M) had no effect on the contraction. Met- and leu-enkephalin (10(-7)-10(-5) M) decreased the high potassium induced [3H]-norepinephrine release from vas deferens, while substance P (10(-6) M) significantly increased it. Nalorphine (10(-5) M) reversed the inhibitory effect of met-enkephalin. These results indicate that these peptides modify the transmission of sympathetic nerve in mouse vas deferens.
