Abstract:
We studied the immunoreactive Beta-endorphin (ir-?-Ep) plasma levels inresponse to an oral glucose tolerance test in 7 children with simple obesity and 7 childrenof normal weight. It was shown that the levels of ir-?-Ep and insulin were significantlyhigher in the obese children as compared to controls during oral glucose tolerance test,which reached a peak at 60 minutes. The result supports the concept of a possible linkbetween Beta-endorphin and glucose homeostasis.
