Mu-Opioid Receptor is Involved in β-Endorphin-Induced Feeding in the Meat-type Chick

β-Endorphin is an endogenous ligand for both mu- and delta-opioid receptors (MOR and DOR), and has an important role in feeding behavior in the central nervous system in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of β-endorphin enhances feeding beha...
