[edit]

Could someone bring this page into less science-specific words? I understand the historical significance, but it sounds like this whole article was written by 1 person who didn't know how to properly link/cite stuff and also didn't just simplify everything for a normal person. Like "beat endorphin is an typical endorphin and reduces pain. It differs from alpha endorphin by blah blah blah."

pharmacological applications of B-Endorphin.

I know that according to at least one study, beta endorphins are necessary for endorphin increased hippocampal cell growth. http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/content/abstract/22/7/2253 <--That one. Would someone mind putting it into the article in good/stupidly simple terms?

Wait, how can the same chemical break down bradykinin and bind to the opioid receptors? Gah, now I want to learn more about this.

What are the psychological effects of beta endorphins? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DianaFowl (talkcontribs) 21:54, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox for a different protein

[edit]

Why does this page have an infobox that contains data for a different protein, proopiomelanocortin? If no one objects, I will remove it. ChemNerd (talk) 16:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi Everyone! I would like to add more information related to the structure and function of the beta endorphin. In order to do this, I have compiled a list of research reviews that I think provide useful information on the topic. If anyone has any thoughts about these sources, please feel free to let me know:


[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The topics I would like to touch on in this article include: Outline:

Lead Section: Effects of Beta Endorphin: hunger, thrill, strenuous physical activity, or feelings of pain. General Mechanism, receptors which the beta endorphin acts

Formation & Structure Section: Picture of 3D cartoon of Beta Endorphin Picture of Beta Endorphin attacked to mu opioid receptor

Mechanism Section: Mechanism & Effect on the CNS Mechanism & Effect on the PNS

Effects on Behavior Section: Hunger Thrill Pain Exercise
