2523509 Backon J: Negative correlation of cigarette smoking and dysmenorrhea: reduced prostaglandin synthesis due to beta-endorphin, nicotine, or acrolein antagonism. Med Hypotheses. 1989 Mar;28(3):213-4.

It is suggested that the mechanism for decreased incidence of dysmenorrhea in female cigarette smokers may lie in the possible inhibition of algesic prostaglandins smoking induced stimulation of beta-endorphin, nicotine, or acrolein.

The effects of various fixatives and fixation methods on ultrastructural morphology and the immunocytochemical localization of beta-endorphin were examined in rat brain.
We tested several combinations of paraformaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, acrolein, and picric acid in various isosmolar buffers.
