摘要：

Dexamethasone, a cortisol analogue which inhibits ACTH and endorphin release in a negative feedback system, partially reduces electroacupuncture analgesia (EAA) in mice. In addition, mice forced to drink 2% saline for 3 days (this reduces pituitary endorphin levels) had a complete loss of EAA. These two experiments support our previous finding that hypophysectomy abolishes EAA. Altogether, these results implicate pituitary endorphins in EAA. © 1979.
