The Role of Beta-Endorphin in Cocaine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference, Its Extinction, and Reinstatement in Male and Female Mice

open access: yesFrontiers 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-

The Role of Beta-Endorphin in Food Deprivation-Mediated Increases in Food Intake and Binge-Eating

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Food deprivation and binge eating represent significant public health concerns. Previous studies have implicated that hypothalamic opioids are affected following food deprivation.

Association of Acute Postoperative Pain and Cigarette Smoking With Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of Beta-Endorphin and Substance P

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Beta-Endorphin and Male Infertility [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Andrology, 1986
Beta-endorphin (beta-ED) levels were evaluated in blood and seminal plasma of men with infertility due to varicocele, obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia, and idiopathic oligoasthenospermia. The relation of this opiate to serum levels of gonadotropins, prolactin, testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate has also been ...

beta-endorphin-(1-27) is an antagonist of beta-endorphin analgesia. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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. A parallel shift in the dose-response curve of beta h-endorphin in the presence of beta h-endorphin-(1-27) suggests competition at the same site ...

beta-Endorphin-induced analgesia is inhibited by synthetic analogs of beta-endorphin. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984
Competitive antagonism of human beta-endorphin (beta h-EP)-induced analgesia by synthetic beta h-EP analogs with high in vitro opiate receptor binding to in vivo analgesic potency ratio has been demonstrated. A parallel shift of the dose-response curve for analgesia to the right was observed when either beta h-EP or [ Trp27 ] -beta h-EP was coinjected ...

Mu-Opioid Receptor is Involved in β-Endorphin-Induced Feeding in the Meat-type Chick

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2008
β-Endorphin is an endogenous ligand for both mu- and delta-opioid receptors (MOR and DOR), and has an important role in feeding behavior in the central nervous system in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of &

Increased Levels of Beta-Endorphin and Noradrenaline after a Brief High-Impact Multidimensional Rehabilitation Program in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesLife, 2022
Finding new solutions for the management of multiple sclerosis (MS) is crucial: further research is needed to study the effect of non-pharmacological interventions on the symptoms and the course of the disease, especially on lifestyle.
