60 YEARS OF POMC: Lipotropin and beta-endorphin: a perspective.

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2016
Many important fields of research had a humble origin. In the distant past, A J P Martin's discovery that amino acids could be separated by paper chromatography and Moore and Stein's use of columns for quantitative amino acid analysis provided the first ...

Beta Endorphins & Wellness [PDF]

open access: yesMOJ 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

Beta-Endorphin Receptors on Equine Lymphocytes: Relationship to Immune Function and Exercise. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Current evidence suggests that endogenous opioids are released in response to various stressors and that these opioids interact with cells of the immune system, and modulate immune function. However, data substantiating this are conflicting.

Do low levels of beta-endorphin in the cerebrospinal fluid indicate defective top-down inhibition in patients with chronic neuropathic pain? A cross-sectional, comparative study.

open access: yesPain medicine (Malden, Mass.), 2014
OBJECTIVE Pain medicine still lacks mechanism-specific biomarkers to guide diagnosis and treatment, and defective top-down modulation is an important factor in the pathophysiology of chronic pain conditions.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism in the human mu opioid receptor gene alters beta-endorphin binding and activity: possible implications for opiate addiction.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1998
Opioid drugs play important roles in the clinical management of pain, as well as in the development and treatment of drug abuse. The mu opioid receptor is the primary site of action for the most commonly used opioids, including morphine, heroin, fentanyl,

Regional processing of the N- and C-terminal domains of proopiomelanocortin in monkey pituitary and brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The total content and extent of processing of the [gamma]3MSH and [beta]-endorphin-containing N- and C-terminal domains of proopiomelanocortin were determined in the anterior and intermediate lobes of the pituitaries and in 11 regions of the brains of ...

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1978
Well-characterized antisera to porcine beta-endorphin were used to localize immunoreactive sites in cryostat sections of formaldehyde-fixed rat brain by indirect immunohistochemistry.

Involvement of the beta-endorphin neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in ethanol-induced place preference conditioning in mice.

open access: yesAlcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2011
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence indicates that mu- and delta-opioid receptors are decisively involved in the retrieval of memories underlying conditioned effects of ethanol.
