The complete sequence of sheep beta-endorphin

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1977
Abstract Automatic sequencing of an isothiocyano naphthalene sulfonic acid derivative of sheep beta-endorphin, allowed the positioning of 24 out of 31 residues. Peptide mapping of a tryptic digest of the native molecule permitted the filling of remaining gaps.

Prolactin response to beta-endorphin in man

Life Sciences, 1980
Abstract Beta endorphin was administered intravenously to six medication-free schizophrenic patients under placebo-controlled conditions. Serum prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) concentrations were measured for 90 minutes after infusion. Prolactin was significantly increased following beta-endorphin infusion compared to placebo infusions ...

Human EEG response to beta-endorphin

Psychiatry Research, 1979
Beta-endorphin, morphine, and saline were given intravenously to a single schizophrenic subject on separate occasions in a double-blind design. EEG spectral analyses performed on data collected before and after drug injection demonstrated that beta-endorphin and morphine produced similar increases in alpha power within 5 to 15 minutes after injection ...

$beta;-ENDORPHIN IN HUMAN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

The Lancet, 1978
beta-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 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

Beta-Endorphins in Autoimmune Diseases

Journal of Pharmaceutical Research & Reports, 2022
Beta-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 ...

Beta-endorphin in granulocytes.

Cell biology international, 2003
The 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

PLASMA BETA-ENDORPHIN LEVELS AND CHILDHOOD INTUSSUCEPTION

Pediatric Emergency Care, 1993
To determine whether childhood intestinal intussusception is associated with elevated plasma beta-endorphin levels, a series of patients was studied prospectively. Fourteen patients (age range between 3 months and 7 years) presented to two university pediatric emergency departments in Chicago with clinical symptoms and signs of intussusception.

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.
