Correlation between plasmatic and CSF beta-endorphin levels.
Fifty-four concomitant pairs of plasma and ventricular CSF samples were obtained in eighteen patients taking advantage of some neuroradiological or therapeutical procedures. A significant linear correlation between plasma and CSF beta-Endorphin levels has been found. The results obtained and those of other papers on the subject are discussed.
