Abstract

After 125I-beta-endorphin was intravenously injected to rats, an autoradiographic study of distal femur articular cartilage was performed. Results show a specific binding of 125I-beta-endorphin to chondrocytes, suggesting the possible existence of an opiate modulation of articular cartilage.
