beta-endorphin-(1-27) is an antagonist of beta-endorphin analgesia. [PDF]
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 is a potent analgesic agent. [PDF]
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. On a molar basis, beta-endorphin is 18 to 33 times more potent than morphine and its actions are blocked by the specific

Biotransformation of beta-endorphin and possible therapeutic implications [PDF]
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 ...

Exploring the role of beta‐endorphin in activity‐based anorexia in mice [PDF]
Anorexia 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 ...

Volume transmission of beta-endorphin via the cerebrospinal fluid; a review
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.

Beta-endorphin 1-31 biotransformation and cAMP modulation in inflammation. [PDF]
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.

Enhancement of natural cytotoxicity by beta-endorphin.
The role of enkephalins, beta-endorphin, or other neuropeptides produced by the nervous system in the alteration of immune responsiveness is generally unknown.
