Abstract
Effects of intravenous β-endorphin on body temperature and body weight loss were studied in naive and morphine-dependent mice. β-Endorphin at doses 2.6–25.5 mg/kg injected intravenously caused hyperthermia in naive mice as well as in morphine-dependent mice. In addition, β-endorphin and morphine reduced body-weight loss during the morphine withdrawal.Keywords
