Abstract
The content of endogenous morphine-like substance in bovine pituitary and brain was determined by an opiate radioreceptor assay. The intermediate lobe was most concentrated in activity and the brain least concentrated. Most of the endorphine is obtained in a 120,000 g-min fraction from pituitary or brain homogenates.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
