The growth hormone (GH) secretory response to β-endorphin and the involvement of opiate receptor subtypes in this response were determined in diestrous female rats. The involvement of the mu (µ), delta (δ) and/or kappa (K) site was determined by administering specific antagonists for each of these sites prior to β-endorphin. β-Funaltrexamine (1 or 5 µg) was administered to block µ sites, ICI 154,129 (5 or 25 µg) blocked δ sites and nor-binaltorphimine (8 µg) blockedKsites. The ability of these antagonists to block GH secretion following intravenous morphine administration was also determined. The opiate antagonists and β-endorphin were administered into the lateral ventricle. A dose-response study for β-endorphin indicated that 0.5 µg β-endorphin was the minimum stimulatory dose for GH release, producing an approximately 4-fold increase in circulating levels of GH; lower doses of β-endorphin did not stimulate secretion. All three antagonists were capable of blocking the stimulatory effects of β-endorphin. These results provide evidence that all three opiate receptor subtypes are involved in the stimulatory effect of β-endorphin on GH release.
