β-Endorphin Mediates the Development and Instability of Atherosclerotic Plaques

β-Endorphin Mediates the Development and Instability of Atherosclerotic Plaques

β-Endorphin, an endogenous opioid peptide, and its μ-opioid receptor are expressed in brain, liver, and peripheral tissues. β-Endorphin induces endothelial dysfunction and is related to insulin resistance. We clarified the effects of β-endorphin on atherosclerosis. We assessed the effects of β-endor...
