Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1993 This paper discusses the role of endogenous opioids in response to hyperthermia and the alterations observed in drug or alcohol addicts. Endorphins, rather than enkephalins are involved in adaptation to heat in the central nervous system. The pituitary secretion of beta endorphin together with ACTH in response to thermal stress provided the opportunity

Mu-Opioid Receptor is Involved in β-Endorphin-Induced Feeding in the Meat-type Chick
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2008 β-Endorphin is an endogenous ligand for both mu- and delta-opioid receptors (MOR and DOR), and has an important role in feeding behavior in the central nervous system in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of &

IL-10/β-Endorphin-Mediated Neuroimmune Modulation on Microglia during Antinociception
Brain Sciences, 2023 Microglia are glial cells centrally related to pathophysiology and neuroimmunological regulation of pain through microglia–neuron crosstalk mechanisms. In contrast, anti-inflammatory mechanisms guided by immunological effectors such as IL-10 trigger the ...
