Abstract
We measured the concentration of β-endorphin (β-End) in plasma, as well as in aqueous humor and crystalline lens removed during cataract surgery. β-End was detected both in the aqueous humor and in the crystalline lens. The concentration of β-End in the aqueous humor corresponded to almost the half of the plasma level (2.18 fmol/l and 4.55 fmol/l). Endogenous β-End is presumed to enter the intraocular structures by passive diffusion.
