Effect of β-endorphin on pulsatile luteinizing hormone release in conscious castrated rats
TLDR
A possible role of β-endorphin, in addition to Met 5 -enkephalin, in the control of LH release in male rats is suggested.About:

The opiomelanotropinergic neuronal and endocrine systems.
TL;DR: The anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of opiomelanotropinergic neurons are reviewed and the implications of multi-neurotransmitter and multi-hormone neurons and cells are discussed.

Influence of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor on Reproductive Functions in the Rat
Catherine Rivier,Wylie Vale +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that CRF will lower plasma LH levels and can exert this effect in the absence of circulating steroids of either adrenal or gonadal origin and suggest thatCRF exerts deleterious actions on reproductive functions through brain sites of action which, at least under the experimental mental design used, do not appear to directly involve opiate or peripheral catecholaminergic pathways.

CHAPTER 43 – Neuroendocrine Control of the Ovarian Cycle of the Rat
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the control of the ovarian cycle of the rats by the brain and its interaction with the anterior pituitary gland and ovaries and show that lighting periodicity plays a dominant role in the incidence and duration of the stages of the cycle.

Endogenous opioid peptides: multiple agonists and receptors
TL;DR: It is concluded that the opioid peptidergic system has agonists of different characteristics which interact with more than one type of receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of endogenous opioid peptides and morphine to neuroendocrine functions
TL;DR: Preliminary observations indicate that the EOP may increase serotonin and decrease dopamine metabolism in the hypothalamus, which could account for practically all of their effects on pituitary hormone secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for two separate opiate peptide neuronal systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present biochemical and anatomical evidence for the existence of two separate opioid systems in brain, an enkephalin system and a β-LPH/β-endorphin system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenous Opioids Participate in the Regulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Luteinizing Hormone Axis and Testosterone's Negative Feedback Control of Luteinizing Hormone
TL;DR: The results of these studies suggest that endogenous opioids exist in brain tissue which normally inhibit activity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-LH axis and participate in the androgen-dependent feedback control of LH elaboration by this axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opioid peptides modulate luteinizing hormone secretion during sexual maturation
TL;DR: Subcutaneous injections of naloxone lead to an increase in serum luteinizing hormone concentrations in female but not in male rats before they reach puberty, suggesting that the opioid peptides have a physiological role in the endocrine events leading to sexual maturation.
