It turns out that pain and negative emotions (e.g. self-pity, anger, guilt) also activate the beta-endorphin and dopamine pathways. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Anything that activates the beta-endorphin or dopamine pathways will do. ❋ Unknown (2010)
As a result, the body releases a beneficial cocktail of hormones namely, seretonin and beta-endorphin, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, improves circulation, and produces an overall calming effect and feeling of well-being. ❋ Danny Dreyer (2009)
Progesterone and progestins: effects on brain, allopregnanolone and beta-endorphin. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)
This reduction of beta-endorphin in the hypothalamus of the alcohol-preferring animals, and the accompanying increase in their blood serum, indicated that alcohol was causing a neuronal release of endorphin from the hypothalamus into the blood. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
Thus, even the precursors and enzymes responsible for the synthesis of beta-endorphin were markedly reduced by alcohol. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
The lack of response to alcohol in either nondrinking animals or low-risk individuals, coupled with a lowered beta-endorphin activity, may explain why these subjects do not like alcohol. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
A gland, located in the brain, that secretes numerous hormones, including arginine vasopressin, prolactin, and beta-endorphin. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
Initially, they measured the amount of beta-endorphin in both brain and blood tissues in alcohol-preferring and alcohol-nonpreferring mice. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
They found that the beta-endorphin level in the spinal fluid of the active alcoholics was only one-third as high as that of the nonalcoholic control group. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
Even small amounts of Levorphanol, beta-endorphin, or salsolinol produce blocking at the calcium receptor site. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
It is less potent than beta-endorphin and comprises the amino acid sequence 61 to 76 in the beta-lipotropin molecule. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)

When alcohol was administered to both types of mice, beta-endorphin release at the synapse was greater at the hypothalamus in the alcohol-preferring mice. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
Blood samples were then taken at intervals, and the amount of beta-endorphin was measured. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)

When the opiate antagonist naloxone is administered before beta-endorphin or salsolinol, the inhibition is removed, and calcium binding resumes. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
After alcohol ingestion, the high-risk group showed a 170 percent increase in beta-endorphin; the low-risk group showed just the opposite—a slight decrease. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
Mocchetti showed that treatment of rats with drugs that decreased the availability of serotonin at the synapse caused an increase in the levels of the peptides enkephalin and beta-endorphin in the hypothalamus. ❋ Kenneth Blum (1991)
