Content of beta-endorphine, Met- and Leu-encephalines was studied in various brain regions and in adrenal glands after long-term immobilization stress, after myocardial infarction and during prolonged gradual adaptation to short-term stressory affects. Acute stressory conditions, myocardial infarction or, especially distinct adaptation to short-term stressory affects were shown to cause an accumulation of opioid peptides in brain structures and in adrenal glands. This increase in opioid peptides accumulated as a tissue reserve appears to elevate the body resistance to subsequent injuring affects.
