dbo:abstract
  • γ-Endorphin (gamma-Endorphin) is an opioid peptide that is characterized by the presence of 17 amino acids. The first 16 amino acids are identical to α-endorphin with Leucine added at the end; or alternatively, γ-Endorphin is equal to the first 17 amino acids of beta-Endorphin. Similar to other endorphins, research focusing upon γ-endorphin has been ongoing since its discovery in the 1970s. Yet, most of the information about the substance's exact role within the body is speculation that has yet to be proven. Some studies have indicated, however, that the polypeptide has antipsychotic effects on a certain category of patients with schizophrenia, while others suggest that gamma-endorphin may act to help regulate blood pressure. Further research is needed, but if γ-endorphin does indeed possess such characteristics, the substance could eventually be utilized as a useful means of medical treatment. (en)
  • γ-エンドルフィン(γ-Endorphin)は、α-エンドルフィンよりも1つだけ多い17個のアミノ酸の存在で特徴づけられるオピオイドペプチドである。他のエンドルフィンと同様に、1970年代の発見当初から研究が続いているが、体内での正確な役割については未だ証明されていない。しかしいくつかの研究では、このポリペプチドは、統合失調症の特定の分類の患者に対し、抗精神病薬活性を持つことが示されている。一方、γ-エンドルフィンは血圧の調整を助けていると主張する研究者もいる。さらなる研究が必用であるが、γ-エンドルフィンが実際にそのような性質を持つとすれば、将来的に医薬品として利用できる可能性がある。 (ja)
