beta-Endorphin: behavioral and analgesic activity in cats

M Meglio et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1977 Feb.

Abstract

beta-Endorphin has been shown to possess potent behavioral and antinociceptive activities when administered intraventricularly in cats. On a molar basis, beta-endorphin is 72-96 times more potent than morphine and its actions are blocked by the specific opiate antagonist, naloxone.
