Peripheral i.p. administration of 1.0 μg/kg γ-endorphin to rats, 30 min prior to training in a 1-trial inhibitory avoidance task, enhanced retention performance measured 72 h later. A much smaller dose of 0.1 μg/kg β-endorphin administered immediately following training produced a retention deficit. Both of these endorphin effects were time dependent, since γ-endorphin given 90 min prior to, and β-endorphin given 90 min after training produced no effect on retention performance. A wide dose range of either γ-endorphin (0.1–10 μg/kg) administered after training or β-endorphin (0.1–10 μg/kg) administered before training had no effect. These results suggest that the behavioral actions of β-endorphin and smaller β-lipotropin sequences such as γ-endorphin, are distinct. We also found that 0.1–100 μg/kg of either α-endorphin or Met-enkephalin given before or after training was without effect on retention of the response.
