Local analgesia of electroacupuncture is mediated by the recruitment of neutrophils and released β-endorphins. [PDF]

open access: yesPain, 2023
Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Electroacupuncture recruited β-endorphins (β-END)-containing ICAM-1+/CD11b+ immune cells and increased the β-END content at the site of inflammatory.

Common precursor to corticotropins and endorphins.

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1977
Double-antibody immunoprecipitation procedures with antisera to endorphins and to corticotropin (ACTH) were used to study the biosynthesis of these peptides in a mouse pituitary tumor cell line. Cultures were incubated with a (3)H-labeled amino acid, and

N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptors and Depression: Linking Psychopharmacology, Pathology and Physiology in a Unifying Hypothesis for the Epigenetic Code of Neural Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaceuticals
Uncompetitive NMDAR (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor) antagonists restore impaired neural plasticity, reverse depressive-like behavior in animal models, and relieve major depressive disorder (MDD) in humans.

Research in Endorphins and Schizophrenia* [PDF]

open access: bronzeSchizophrenia Bulletin, 1979
It has been suggested that the newly discovered endogenous opiate peptides (called endorphins) might play a role in the symptoms of schizophrenia. The administration of narcotic antagonists provides both a test of the hypothesis and a potential treatment.

Locomotor activation induced by infusion of endorphins into the ventral tegmental area: evidence for opiate-dopamine interactions. [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1980
beta-Endorphin in nanomole quantities produced a stimulation of locomotor activity when infused into the region of the dopamine cell bodies of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in rats. alpha-, gamma-, and des-Tyr-gamma-endorphin produced similar effects,

A Preliminary Study on the Interplay between the Serum Levels of Neurotransmitters and Thyroid Hormones for the Evaluation of the Behavioral Phenotype of Dogs [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
A total of 112 dogs (49 males and 63 females) belonging to different breeds (i.e., Boxer, Cirneco dell’Etna, Fonni’s Dog, Labrador, Crossbreed, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Shar-Pei, Yorkshire) were analyzed to compare the serum concentration of serotonin,

Lymphocyte production of endorphins and endorphin-mediated immunoregulatory activity

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 1985
The immune and neuroendocrine systems appear able to communicate with each other by virtue of signal molecules (hormones) and receptors common to both systems. This review summarizes our data concerning the production of one type of neuroendocrine hormone, endorphins (END), by stimulated lymphocytes.

Endorphins and exercise [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 1984
It is generally accepted that serious exercise training leads to marked menstrual irregularity and frequently complete amenorrhea in females, due to a decrease in the release of hypothalamic gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GmRH). The recent demonstration of a rise in plasma met-enkephalin during this process suggests an etiological role for endogenous

Is the pursuit of happiness the pursuit of homeostasis? A review on the modulatory functions of endorphins on human behavior

open access: yesEuropean Psychiatry, 2022
Introduction Endorphins have been associated with analgesia and pleasurable activities. However, the so-called “happy chemicals” are far more complex than initially thought. Research shows that their impact on human behavior is modulatory, with the main
