Overview
Endorphins and other endogenous opioids appear to be the connecting link between reproductive functions and stress adaption of the human organism. This book contains the con-tributions of an international group of biologists, bioche-
mists, and endocrinologists on the opioidergic control me-
chanisms in reproduction and stress physiology. Main topics covered are: endogeneous opioids and the pituitary-gonadal system; ovarian endorphinsecretion; pregnancy-associated changes of plasma endorphin; and opioid control of the hypo-
thalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Although all chapters give an excellent review on various studies in basic opioid re-
search, there are numerous clinical implications mentioned in this book.
