The effect of neuroleptic treatment and of high dosage diazepam therapy on beta-endorphin immunoreactivity in plasma of schizophrenic patients.

Abstract

In 14 schizophrenic patients, treated with neuroleptic drugs, and in 7 patients, treated with high-dosage diazepam, beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity in plasma has been measured by use of a highly sensitive and relatively specific radioimmunoassay. Neuroleptic treatment induced a significant increase of beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity (beta-ELI). The pharmacological and clinical implications of this finding are discussed. High-dosage diazepam treatment induces a slight reduction of plasma beta-ELI, a finding which is attributed to antistress effect of diazepam.
