The effects of beta-endorphin: state change modification. [PDF]
Fluids Barriers CNS, 2015 Beta-endorphin (β-END) is an opioid neuropeptide which has an important role in the development of hypotheses concerning the non-synaptic or paracrine communication of brain messages. This kind of communication between neurons has been designated volume transmission (VT) to differentiate it clearly from synaptic communication.

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.

beta-endorphin is a potent analgesic agent. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1976 beta-Endorphin, an opiate-like peptide, has potent antinociceptive properties when it is administered directly into the brain and assayed in the the tail-flick, hot-plate, and writhing tests in mice and in the wet shake test in rats.

Volume transmission of beta-endorphin via the cerebrospinal fluid; a review [PDF]
Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2012 There is increasing evidence that non-synaptic communication by volume transmission in the flowing CSF plays an important role in neural mechanisms, especially for extending the duration of behavioral effects.

Biotransformation of beta-endorphin and possible therapeutic implications [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Endogenous opioid peptides have been aligned with a diverse array of effects. Their activity is not only attributable to action the three main opioid receptors, mu (MOR), delta (DOR), and kappa (KOR) opioid receptors but their impacts appear to extend to activities at sodium channels, cytokine receptors (Finley et al., 2008), calcium channels and non ...

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-
