The role of beta-endorphin in the acute motor stimulatory and rewarding actions of cocaine in mice.

Psychopharmacology - 1 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: Opioid receptor antagonists have been shown to attenuate the rewarding and addictive effects of cocaine. Furthermore, cocaine has been shown to cause the release of beta-endorphin, an endogenous opioid peptide. OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether this neuropeptide would play a functional ro...
