Acupuncture and electroacupuncture (EA) as complementary and alternative medicine have been accepted worldwide mainly for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Studies on the mechanisms of action have revealed that endogenous opioid peptides in the central nervous system play an essential role in mediating the analgesic effect of EA. Further studies

β-endorphins Plasma Level is Higher in Lean Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Women.
Experimental and clinical endocrinology & diabetes, 2016AIM The evaluation the β-endorphin plasma levels in lean women with polycystic ovary syndrome as well as in women without this disorder. The associations between β-endorphins and other laboratory parameters were also investigated.

Endorphins: profound behavioral effects in rats suggest new etiological factors in mental illness.
Science, 1976The endogenous morphinomimetic brain peptides Met5-enkephalin and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphins have been evaluated in rats after intracerebrospinal fluid injection. beta-Endorphin produces marked, prolonged muscular rigidity and immobility similar

Endorphins: naloxone fails to alter experimental pain or mood in humans.
Science, 1978In 30 human subjects, experimental pain was produced by either ischemia or cold-water immersion. In a double-blind procedure, intravenous doses of up to 10 milligrams of naloxone hydrochloride in saline were indistinguishable from similarly administered ...

Endorphins in psychiatry: an overview and a hypothesis.
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1978This article presents an overview of the biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiology of endogenous opioid peptides (endorphins). Clinical psychopharmacology of exogenous opiate agonists and antagonists is reviewed.

Endorphins in experimental spinal injury: Therapeutic effect of naloxone
Annals of Neurology, 1981An experimental model of cat spinal injury was used to investigate the hypotheses that endorphins are involved in the pathophysiology of spinal cord injury and that the opiate antagonist naloxone, by blocking the effects of endorphins, may improve ...

— Radioimmunoassays (RIAs) selective for methionine‐enkephalin (Met‐ENK) and leucineenkephalin (Leu‐ENK) have been developed using competition towards binding of 10 pM 125I‐enkephalins to antibodies raised in rabbits against ENKs coupled to ovalbumin ...

Endorphins in human cerebrospinal fluid: Clinical correlations to some psychotic states
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1978The significance of endorphins, endogenous morphine‐like agents, in some psychiatric disorders was investigated. Samples of cerebrospinal fluid were taken by lumbar puncute from healthy volunteers and from patients with schizophrenic, manic‐depressive ...

Since narcotic drugs profoundly depress breathing, we tested whether endogenous opioids influenced control of breathing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), reasoning that the stress of chronic dyspnea might cause elaboration of "endorphins."

Endorphinergic neurons certainly play a role in the brain's processing of painful stimuli. Endorphins act to alter pain appreciation at many levels within the central nervous system including spinal cord, midbrain, thalamus, and cortex. The activity of this pain-suppressing system may play a role in individual differences in the experience of pain ...
