The complete sequence of sheep beta-endorphin

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1977
Abstract Automatic sequencing of an isothiocyano naphthalene sulfonic acid derivative of sheep beta-endorphin, allowed the positioning of 24 out of 31 residues. Peptide mapping of a tryptic digest of the native molecule permitted the filling of remaining gaps.

Prolactin response to beta-endorphin in man

Life Sciences, 1980
Abstract Beta endorphin was administered intravenously to six medication-free schizophrenic patients under placebo-controlled conditions. Serum prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) concentrations were measured for 90 minutes after infusion. Prolactin was significantly increased following beta-endorphin infusion compared to placebo infusions ...

Pancreatic Beta-Endorphin-Like Polypeptides

Pharmacology, 1981
Acid extracts of porcine pancreas acetone powders (but not of other tissues) have been shown to contain material which will react firstly in a radioimmunoassay for beta-endorphin, and secondly, compete with 3H-Naloxone and 3H-enkephalinamide in the radio-receptor assay.

Dexamethasone suppresses beta-endorphin in humans

Psychoneuroendocrinology, 1985
Studies assessing the effect of glucocorticoids on beta-endorphin regulation in man have yielded inconsistent results. As measured by a highly specific beta-endorphin assay procedure, plasma immunoreactive beta-endorphin (irB-EP) in six healthy subjects was significantly suppressed, along with cortisol, after a 2 mg oral dose of dexamethasone (DEX ...

Human EEG response to beta-endorphin

Psychiatry Research, 1979
Beta-endorphin, morphine, and saline were given intravenously to a single schizophrenic subject on separate occasions in a double-blind design. EEG spectral analyses performed on data collected before and after drug injection demonstrated that beta-endorphin and morphine produced similar increases in alpha power within 5 to 15 minutes after injection ...

$beta;-ENDORPHIN IN HUMAN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

The Lancet, 1978
beta-endorphin is a brain peptide with potent morphine-like activity structurally related to the anterior pituitary hormone beta-lipotrophin (beta-L.P.H.). We have developed a radioimmunoassay for human beta-endorphin in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F.).

Beta-endorphin in granulocytes.

Cell biology international, 2003
The literature indicates that beta-endorphin can be found in the mononuclear cells of peripheral blood. In the present experiments the endorphin content of granulocytes was studied, compared to lymphocytes as reference cells. Granulocytes as well, as lymphocytes contain endorphin. The granulocytes' endorphin content is much higher. Both lymphocytes and

Beta-Endorphins in Autoimmune Diseases

Journal of Pharmaceutical Research & Reports, 2022
Beta-endorphin is an abundant endorphin synthesized and stored in the anterior pituitary gland and its µ receptors are present on immune cells and nervous system. Autoimmune diseases are increasing now days because of psychological stress induced release of stress releasing hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, ACTH activate ...

beta-Endorphin: central sites of analgesia, catalepsy and body temperature changes in rats.

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1980
beta-Endorphin was microinjected into rat brain in order to localize central sites associated with some of its pharmacologic effects: namely, analgesia (inhibition of the tail-flick response), catalepsy and changes in body temperature. Microinjections (1
