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.

WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 07:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gelotology Question

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

Infobox for a different protein

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]

Sources to add information related to structure and function of Beta Endorphin

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
