Abstract
Objective: Synaptic β -endorphin and μ-opioid receptors are intimately involved in responses to stress. Sex differences noted in opioid-mediated stress response mechanisms may be due to the effects of gonadal steroids on vulnerability factors. We examined the psychophysical and μ-opioid neurotransmitter responses to a model of physical and psychological stress in women under two hormonal conditions.
