Endorphins in Reproduction and Stress
Endorphins and other endogenous opioids appear to be the connecting link between reproductive functions and stress adaption of the human organism. This book contains the con- tributions of an international group of biologists, bioche- mists, and endocrinologists on the opioidergic control me- chanisms in reproduction and stress physiology. Main topics covered are: endogeneous opioids and the pituitary-gonadal system; ovarian endorphinsecretion; pregnancy-associated changes of plasma endorphin; and opioid control of the hypo- thalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Although all chapters give an excellent review on various studies in basic opioid re- search, there are numerous clinical implications mentioned in this book.
