Acute acetate administration increases endogenous opioid levels in the human brain: A [(11)C]carfentanil molecular imaging study

INTRODUCTION: A recent study has shown that acetate administration leads to a fourfold increase in the transcription of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA in the hypothalamus. POMC is cleaved to peptides, including β-endorphin, an endogenous opioid (EO) agonist that binds preferentially to the µ-opioid...
