  • Title: Elevated plasma and tissue concentrations of beta-endorphin and beta-lipotropin associated with an ectopic ACTH-producing lung tumor.
    Author: Kleber G, Höllt V, Oelkers W, Quabbe HJ.
    Journal: Horm Metab Res; 1980 Aug; 12(8):385-9. PubMed ID: 6250965.
    Abstract:
    beta-Endorphin- and ACTH-like immunoreactive peptides were measured in plasma and certain tissues of a patient suffering from an oat-cell-carcinoma of the lungs and Cushing's syndrome. Using sensitive radioimmunoassays in combination with gel-filtration, highly elevated levels of beta-endorphin, beta-lipotropin (beta-LPH), alpha-melanotropin (alpha-MSH) and ACTH were found.
