Endorphins, dopamine, and schizophrenia.
The theory that alterations of dopaminergic synaptic transmission may play a role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia is widely accepted. A more recent theory links the endorphin system to the etiology of schizophrenia. We propose that these two theories may be combined into a single model. Recent neurochemical and pharmacological findings have indicated close functional relationships between ...

'Endogenous opioid peptides', 'endogenous opioids' 'opioid peptide' and 'endopioids' can be considered as synonymous. Since the identification of stereospecific opiate receptors2J and the pentapeptides met...
متن کاملComparison of trazodone, diazepame and dibenzepine influences on rat brain beta-endorphins content.
The aim of our study was to establish the extent of influence of different psychotropic drugs to brain Beta-endorphins in experimental animals. The study was performed on albino Wistar rats (weight 250 g), treated with different psychoactive drugs. RIA technique was employed for quantification of brain beta-endorphins. Brain beta-endorphins were higher in experiment group treated with trazodone...
متن کاملInteraction between serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and beta-endorphins modulates antidepressant response.
UNLABELLED Interactions between serotonergic and the endogenous opioid systems have been suggested to be involved in the etiopathogenesis of depression and in the mechanism of action of antidepressants. Activation of serotonin 5-HT1A receptors has been shown to increase plasma beta-endorphin (beta-END) levels in animal studies and in healthy humans. OBJECTIVES To assess interaction abnormalit...
