The Opioid System in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Functional Role and Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Temporal lobe epilepsy is considered to be one of the most common and severe forms of focal epilepsies. Patients often develop cognitive deficits and emotional blunting along the progression of the disease.

Can Beta-Endorphin Be Used as a Biomarker for Chronic Low Back Pain? A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesPain medicine (Malden, Mass.), 2018
Background Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is usually quantified using the visual analog scale (VAS). However, the VAS is a subjective measure and prone to reporting bias, therefore making it difficult to differentiate patients with true pain from those ...

Gel chromatographic characterization of immunoreactive adrenocorticotropin in patients with ACTH hypersecretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
We investigated the molecular size of circulating immunoreactive ACTH by gel chromatography in patients with ACTH hypersecretion due to various disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

β-Endorphin (an endogenous opioid) inhibits inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis via Nrf-2 in asthmatic murine model

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease is characterized by airway inflammation, remodelling, airflow limitation and hyperresponsiveness. At present, it is considered as an umbrella diagnosis consisting several variable clinical presentations (phenotypes ...

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

The role of beta-endorphin in horses: a review

open access: yesVeterinární Medicína, 2011
Opium alkaloids counterparts are secreted by human and animal organisms but the role of endogenous opioid peptides in horses has not yet been fully elucidated.

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.

Neuroendocrine effects of a single bout of functional and core stabilization training in women with chronic nonspecific low back pain: A crossover study

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2022
Exercise‐induced hypoalgesia (EIH) is characterized as the pain reduction after an exercise session and it seems to be related to the release of plasma β‐endorphin.

On the G-protein-coupled receptor heteromers and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system: focus on their role in pain modulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The modulatory role of allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the pain pathways of the Central Nervous System and the peripheral nociceptors has become of increasing interest.
