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 ...

Exploring the role of beta‐endorphin in activity‐based anorexia in mice [PDF]
Physiological ReportsAnorexia nervosa (AN) remains one of the most lethal mental health disorders and is poorly understood from a neurobiological perspective. The most widely used animal model of AN is activity‐based anorexia (ABA) where scheduled food presentation leads to ...

Beta-endorphin 1-31 biotransformation and cAMP modulation in inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A large body of evidence now exists for the immune cell expression, production, and the release of beta-endorphin (BE 1-31) within inflamed tissue. The inflammatory milieu is characterised by increased acidity, temperature and metabolic activity.
