beta-endorphin-(1-27) is an antagonist of beta-endorphin analgesia. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984 beta h-Endorphin-(1-27), a naturally occurring fragment of human beta-endorphin (beta h-endorphin), diminishes the analgesic effect of beta h-endorphin when coinjected intra-cerebroventricularly into mice.

The Role of Beta-Endorphin in Cocaine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference, Its Extinction, and Reinstatement in Male and Female Mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Endogenous opioids have been implicated in cocaine reward. However, the role of each opioid peptide in this regard is unknown. Notably, the role of each peptide in extinction and reinstatement is not fully characterized. Thus, we assessed whether cocaine-

Association of Acute Postoperative Pain and Cigarette Smoking With Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of Beta-Endorphin and Substance P [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Objectives: Cigarette smoking is associated with postoperative pain perception, which might be mediated by beta-endorphin and substance P. These effects on postoperative pain perception have never been investigated in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF ...
