DOI: 10.1007/s10517-017-3603-7
Abstract: Blood levels of nonesterified fatty acids, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL increased in rats subjected to forced swimming stress. Administration of opioid peptides dynorphin A(1-13), DSLET, or DAGO reduced stress-induced disturbances in lipid metabolism. Dynorphin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jff.2017.12.022
Abstract: Abstract Opioid like morphine and codeine are used for the management of pain, but are associated with serious side-effects limiting their use. Wheat gluten proteins were assessed for the presence of opioid peptides on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2019.00075
Abstract: Background: Electroacupuncture (EA) tolerance, a negative therapeutic effect, is a gradual decline in antinociception because of its repeated or prolonged use. This study aims to explore the role of thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4), having neuro-protection… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules26196079
Abstract: Activated opioid receptors transmit internal signals through two major pathways: the G-protein-mediated pathway, which exerts analgesia, and the β-arrestin-mediated pathway, which leads to unfavorable side effects. Hence, G-protein-biased opioid agonists are preferable as opioid analgesics.… read more here.
