Involvement of Non-Opiate Peptides in Psychoneuroimmunological Modulations

  • Chapter
Enkephalins and Endorphins

  • 109 Accesses

Abstract

At present, several teams of investigators have provided evidence that endogenous opiate peptides play an important role in interactions between the nervous, endocrine and immune systems, their dysfunctions being intimately associated with stress (Arrigo-Reina and Ferri, 1980). Hence, the rapid growth of psychoneuroimmunology, a new field of neurobiology, largely relies on investigation of opiatergic modulations of these systems. Non-opiate peptides, however, are equally involved in regulating the integrity of biochemical and physiological processes responsible for homeostasis.
