The Association of Headache and Physical Activity in Times of the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Prospective Cohort Study

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Prospective studies of the risk of headache with low levels of physical activity are limited. Pandemic‐related lifestyle changes and the potential headache risk associated with Coronavirus Disease (COVID‐19) and SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccination may complicate this association. Our study aims to investigate the potential risk of new bothersome

Circulating β-endorphin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone and cortisol levels of stallions before and after short road transport: stress effect of different distances

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2008
Background Since transport evokes physiological adjustments that include endocrine responses, the objective of this study was to examine the responses of circulating β-endorphin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol levels to transport stress

Passive Oscillatory Body Motion Attenuates Pain‐Related Behaviors and Increases β‐Endorphin Immunoreactivity in a Murine Fracture Model: A Preliminary Study

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This preliminary study aimed to investigate whether passive oscillatory body motion (PBM), a mechanical stimulus that reproduces vertical accelerations comparable to those generated during treadmill running, could activate the β‐endorphin (β‐END)–related hypothalamus–periaqueductal gray (PAG) pathway and alleviate fracture‐induced ...

Osteoarthritis: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial degenerative joint disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. This graphical abstract summarizes the epidemiology, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic approaches of OA. OA development is driven by aging, metabolic dysregulation, and mechanical stress, leading to progressive joint degeneration ...

Ethanol-activated microglial exosomes induce MCP1 signaling mediated death of stress-regulatory proopiomelanocortin neurons in the developing hypothalamus

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Background Microglia, a type of resident immune cells within the central nervous system, have been implicated in ethanol-activated neuronal death of the stress regulatory proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neuron-producing β-endorphin peptides in the ...

Perspectives on Endogenous Opioids in Birds

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The present review summarizes the state of knowledge of endogenous opioids in birds. Endogenous opioid peptides acts in a neuromodulatory, hormonal and paracrine manner to mediate analgesic and other physiological functions.

Neuroimmunomodulation in Cancer Patients: Correlations between Melatonin and ß-Endorphin Blood Levels and T Helper/Suppressor Ratio

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1988
The pineal gland and opioid peptides play roles in the neuroendocrine control of immunity. Both neuroendocrine and immune dysfunctions have been observed in cancer but the importance of the altered secretion of neurohormones in the immunoincompetence of ...
