β-endorphin neuron transplantation
We summarize here our new discovery that the endogenous opioid peptide β-endorphin (BEP), by virtue of reducing body stress and maintaining active immune system, as well as, balancing the levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, destroys tumor cells and stops them from being transformed into metastatic cancer cells.
متن کاملCortisol, β-endorphin and oxidative stress markers in healthy medical students in response to examination stress
The psychosomatic connection pertaining to the relationship between perceived stress and the milieu intérieur that must be evident during a naturalistic stressor event is not well explored. Objective: This study therefore examines the interrelationship between perceived stress scores, endocrine levels and oxidant-antioxidant activities under the duress of examination stress, an appropriate exam...
متن کاملRelease of β-endorphin, adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol in response to machine milking of dairy cows
AIM The present study was undertaken with the objective to obtain insight into the dynamics of the release of β-endorphin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in response to machine milking in dairy cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 healthy multiparous lactating Italian Friesian dairy cows were used in the study. Animals were at the 4(th)-5(th) month of pregnancy and were...
متن کاملNeuronal MicroRNA Deregulation in Response to Alzheimer's Disease Amyloid-β
Normal brain development and function depends on microRNA (miRNA) networks to fine tune the balance between the transcriptome and proteome of the cell. These small non-coding RNA regulators are highly enriched in brain where they play key roles in neuronal development, plasticity and disease. In neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), brain miRNA profiles are altered; thus...
متن کاملSkin β-Endorphin Mediates Addiction to UV Light
UV light is an established carcinogen, yet evidence suggests that UV-seeking behavior has addictive features. Following UV exposure, epidermal keratinocytes synthesize proopiomelanocortin (POMC) that is processed to melanocyte-stimulating hormone, inducing tanning. We show that, in rodents, another POMC-derived peptide, β-endorphin, is coordinately synthesized in skin, elevating plasma levels a...
