Hypothalamic beta-endorphin, body weight, and food intake in ovarian steroid treated rats
To test the hypothesis that hypothalamic β-endorphin levels were related to the body weight changes occurring with ovarian steroid treatments, 80 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovariectomized and allowed to recover for 7 days. Four treatment groups of 20 each were subjected to daily …

A Study of Pro- and Anti-Nociceptive Factors In A Model of Colitis-Associated Visceral Pain
… cells source the anti-nociceptive factor, β-endorphin. To examine pro-nociceptive mechanisms, acute and chronic dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse models of colitis were established and substance P (SP; marker of nociceptor terminals) immunohistochemistry used to investigate changes in …

Possible thermoregulatory contributions of plasma B-endorphin during prolonged exercise in humans
… were tested to determine plasma immunoreactive β-endorphin (Piβ-EN) response under three conditions of exercise thermoregulatory stress. The experimental protocol consisted of 120 min of stationary upright cycling at 50% Vo₂max under conditions of neutral (24ºC, 50% RH)/euhydration (NE), hot …

Characterisation of the role of peripheral μ-opioid receptors in the behavioural effects of heroin and their underlying neural systems in the rat
… effects of heroin strongly correlate with the β-endorphin concentrations in the plasma. I then show that the β-endorphin release is mediated via central MORs and that selective antagonism of central or peripheral MORs abolishes the correlation between plasma β-endorphin concentration and …

Growing Up POMC: Pro-opiomelanocortin in the Developing Brain
… functional POMC-processing products (β-endorphin and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) are also detected in embryonic hypothalamic extracts (at embryonic day (E) 13.5 and E15.5, respectively). The presence of POMC processing poducts in the embryo, prior to the establishment of circuits …

Probing the conformational dynamics of amyloid oligomers in biologically relevant microenvironments
… the peptide central to AD pathogenesis, and β-endorphin (βE), a non-toxic signaling amyloid, to identify properties associated with aberrant aggregation events. Additionally, we examine the role of amyloid cross-seeding to better understand synergies between different amyloid-related disease …

Treatment Outcomes Related to EEG-Biofeedback for Chemical Dependency: Changes in MMPI-2 (University of Minnesota) Personality Measures and Long Term Abstinence Rates
… in depression, psychopathology, serum β-endorphin levels, and abstinence rates. The present study is an extension of a previously unpublished replication of the Peniston EEG-BFB protocol with 20 chemically dependent outpatients (Bodenhamer-Davis, Callaway, & DeBeus, 2002). Fifteen …

EXERCISE-INDUCED MYOKINES RELEASE: IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE AND MENTAL HEALTH IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
… focusing on irisin, adiponectin, and β-endorphins, alongside traditional markers of muscle damage and perceived soreness. The thesis comprises five studies, including four experimental investigations in trained men and one exploratory pilot study in breast cancer survivors, providing …
