Abstract
beta h-Endorphin-(1-27), a naturally occurring fragment of human beta-endorphin (beta h-endorphin), diminishes the analgesic effect of beta h-endorphin when coinjected intra-cerebroventricularly into mice. A parallel shift in the dose-response curve of beta h-endorphin in the presence of beta h-endorphin-(1-27) suggests competition at the same site. The potency of beta h-endorphin-(1-27) in antagonizing analgesia is greater than 4 times greater than that of the opiate antagonist naloxone.Entities:
