Dexamethasone suppresses beta-endorphin in humans
Psychoneuroendocrinology, 1985Studies 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 ...

$beta;-ENDORPHIN IN HUMAN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
The Lancet, 1978beta-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, 2003The 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, 2022Beta-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 ...

[Biosynthesis of beta-endorphin].
Bulletin der Schweizerischen Akademie der Medizinischen Wissenschaften, 1978We have demonstrated that beta-lipotropin is a precursor molecule and that during its maturation, it gives rise to beta-endorphin. This model is similar to proinsulin, proparathyroid hormone and proglucagon models. Since beta-endorphin is also found in the hypothalamus, one can foresee that its biosynthesis will be similar if not identical.

Beta-endorphins in essential blepharospasm
Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1994The effect of the administration of adrenergic and serotoninergic substances on beta-endorphins was evaluated in four patients with essential blepharospasm. The lack of beta-endorphin release following administration of adrenergic agents demonstrated that this aminergic action on the hypothalamus-pituitary adrenal axis is modified in the presence of ...

Beta-endorphin genetics in the etiology of alcoholism
Alcohol, 1988"Reinforcing" effects are ascribed to endogenous opioids, particularly to the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived beta-endorphin 1-31, the most potent opiate-active substance. Alcohol induces variations in the genetic processing of the precursor POMC and of beta-endorphin at different levels.

Beta-endorphin in silent duodenal ulcer.
European journal of gastroenterology & hepatology, 1995To investigate whether duodenal ulcer patients with painful active peptic ulcer and those with silent active ulceration have different plasma beta-endorphin levels.Forty-five patients (28 men and 17 women), aged 38-50 years, with at least a 5-year history of duodenal ulceration.
