Common precursor to corticotropins and endorphins
Proceedings 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

Music and social bonding: ‘self-other’ merging and neurohormonal mechanisms [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 It has been suggested that a key function of music during its development and spread amongst human populations was its capacity to create and strengthen social bonds amongst interacting group members. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs have not

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

Research in Endorphins and Schizophrenia* [PDF]
Schizophrenia 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.

Endorphins and mood changes in long-distance running
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1982 Acute and chronic positive mood changes have been said to occur with running and jogging. It has been suggested that endogenous substances with opioid activity (endorphins) may serve as modulators of mood.

Challenges and new opportunities for detecting endogenous opioid peptides in reward [PDF]
Addiction Neuroscience, 2022 The endogenous opioid peptide system, comprised of enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins, and nociceptin, is a highly complex neurobiological system. Opioid peptides are derived from four precursor molecules and undergo several processing events yielding ...

Lymphocyte production of endorphins and endorphin-mediated immunoregulatory activity
The 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, Exercise, and Addictions: A Review of Exercise Dependence [PDF]
Impulse: The Premier Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal, 2006 Endorphins are endogenous opioids released from the pituitary gland that are believed to mediate analgesia, induce euphoria, and play a role in the reward system in the brain. It has been suggested that endorphins are responsible for creating the relaxed

Clinical 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
