Stress indicators in steers at slaughtering [PDF]
This work aimed to assess the blood modifications of some slaughtering-linked stress hormones in cattle subject to butcher standardized procedures. The blood samples of 20 Limousine 12-13 months old steers have been collected before slaughtering, during ...

Correlation between ovarian steroidogenesis and beta-endorphin in the Lizard Uromastyx acanthinura: Immunohistochemical approach. [PDF]
In Mammals, opioid peptides are involved in various physiological processes including the reproductive function. The knowledge of the distribution of beta-endorphin, one of opioid peptides in Reptiles ovaries is very limited. Therefore, the present study

Psychophysical responses to a speech stressor: Correlation of plasma beta-endorphin levels at rest and after psychological stress with thermally measured pain threshold in patients with coronary artery disease [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that psychological stress alters plasma levels of opioid peptides and that these plasma levels are related to pain perception in patients with coronary artery disease.

Diabetic neuropathy is associated with increased pain perception, low serum beta-endorphin and increase insulin resistance among Nigerian cohorts in Ekiti State. [PDF]
Introduction: There has been an increase in the global prevalence of diabetic polyneuropathy and research evidence suggests that insulin resistance plays an important role in its development and prognosis.

Salivary beta-endorphin and substance P are not biomarkers of neuropathic chronic pain propensity. [PDF]
Objective: The pathophysiology of chronic pain is complex, with most of our knowledge being derived from preclinical studies. The search for biomarkers mirroring the pathophysiology of chronic pain is ongoing, and there is an increasing interest in ...

AAV gene therapy vectors in the TMJ
Abstract Objectives The goal of this project was to evaluate the use of two adeno‐associated viral vector serotypes, adeno‐associated viral vectors (AAV)‐2 and AAV‐6, approved for and used for gene therapy in humans, for the delivery of therapeutic genes to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the attendant sensory nerves.

Abstract Background Ambulatory assessments offer opportunities to study physical activity level (PAL) and affect at the group and person‐level. We examined bidirectional associations between PAL and affect in a 3‐h timeframe and evaluated whether associations differ between people with and without current or remitted depression/anxiety.

Sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone treatment is not affected by OPRM1 A118G and BDNF Va66Met polymorphisms, but alters the plasma beta-endorphin and BDNF levels in individuals with opioid use disorder [PDF]
The study aimed to examine the genetic contribution to buprenorphine (BUP) treatment in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD), with a specific focus on BDNF and OPRM1 genes.
