Beta-Endorphin and Male Infertility [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Andrology, 1986
Beta-endorphin (beta-ED) levels were evaluated in blood and seminal plasma of men with infertility due to varicocele, obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia, and idiopathic oligoasthenospermia. The relation of this opiate to serum levels of gonadotropins, prolactin, testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate has also been ...

beta-endorphin-(1-27) is an antagonist of beta-endorphin analgesia. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984
beta h-Endorphin-(1-27), a naturally occurring fragment of human beta-endorphin (beta h-endorphin), diminishes the analgesic effect of beta h-endorphin when coinjected intra-cerebroventricularly into mice. A parallel shift in the dose-response curve of beta h-endorphin in the presence of beta h-endorphin-(1-27) suggests competition at the same site ...
