Effects of sex steroids on beta-endorphin release from rat hypothalamus in vitro.

Abstract:

:The effects of sex steroids on immunoreactive beta-endorphin (EP) release from the rat hypothalamus in vitro were examined using a rat hypothalamic perifusion system and an EP RIA. Testosterone (1-100 ng/ml) and estradiol (10-100 pg/ml) stimulated EP release in a dose-dependent manner. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 1-100 ng/ml) dose-dependently inhibited EP release. These results indicate an inverse relationship between the acute effect of gonadal sex steroids and that of adrenal androgen on hypothalamic EP release in vitro.
