1.	Ganglion Cysts (Ganglion) 06/01/1998 - "Some of the annetocin-secretory cells were found to form a neurohemal-like structure, where somata or fibers with loose glial investment came in contact with the coelomic space at the ventral side of the subesophageal ganglion. " 06/01/1998 - "Some annetocin-IR cells displayed unipolar-like structure with a process directing to the core region (the neuropile) of the ganglion. " 06/01/1998 - "Only four annetocin-IR cells were seen in the cerebral ganglion. " 06/01/1998 - "Annetocin-immunoreactive (IR) cell-somata were located mainly at the ventro-lateral side of the subesophageal ganglion. "
2.	Body Weight Changes 09/01/1999 - "Annetocin, Lys-conopressin (a leech vasopressin-related peptide) and two analog peptides, [Tyr(3)]-annetocin ((3)Y-annetocin) and [Phe(3)]-annetocin ((3)F-annetocin), were compared for their activities to induce egg-laying-like behavior and to change body weight as a measure of water balance in the leech W. "
3.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 09/01/1999 - "Injection of annetocin, Lys-conopressin, and (3)F-annetocin caused both egg-laying-like behavior and reduction of body weight in the animals, but (3)Y-annetocin induced neither. "
