Beta‐endorphins in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1986 AbstractThe endogenous peptide B‐endorphin (B‐EP) is closely connected with different aspects of homeostasis, behavior, and in particular with the perception of pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between: (a) the level of plasma B‐EP and the intensity of pain in acute myocardial infarction (AMI); and (b) the B‐EP and ...

Beta Endorphins & Wellness [PDF]
MOJ Clinical & Medical Case Reports, 2015 The human body produces at least 20 different endorphins with possible benefits and uses that researchers are investigating. Beta endorphin appears to be the endorphin that seems to have the strongest affect on the brain and body during exercise; it is one kind of peptide hormone that is formed mainly by Tyrosine, an amino acid. The molecular structure
