Περιγραφή:	1. A distinct seasonal cycle of beta-endorphin (beta-E) was detected in plasma of four intact, male white-tailed deer. Peak levels (around 11 pg/ml) were observed in August and minimal concentrations (around 5 pg/ml) were detected in January and February. 2. The seasonal variation (which corresponds to intensity of antler growth) was more pronounced in the two mature bucks, as compared to the immature ones. 3. Intramuscular administration of synthetic thyroxine (in doses of 500, 750 and 1000 micrograms/deer) and GnRH (100 micrograms/deer) had generally no significant effect on the beta-E levels. 4. I.v. administration of dexamethasone (5 mg/deer) as well as i.m. injection ACTH (20 Int. Units/deer) significantly reduced beta-E levels.
