TL;DR
Those symptoms that are clearly those of a reactive depression certainly may follow any injury, as indeed they do following labour and operations on the body for all sorts of causes and other noncompensation able traumata.

128 Citations1981Josef Blankstein, F. I. Reyes +2 more
Data suggest that central nervous system inhibitory opioid pathways may be involved in the regulation of LH secretion in normal women and that excessive production of endogenous opioids may play a role in the pathophysiology of some amenorrhoeic conditions.
New England Journal of MedicineLuteinizing-Hormone-Releasing Hormone
113 Citations1977S. M. McCann
One of the exciting advances in endocrinology has been the discovery of a family of peptidic neurohormones in the hypothalamus that stimulate or inhibit the secretion of adenohypophysial hormones.
ScienceNorepinephrine: Reversal of Anorexia in Rats with Lateral Hypothalamic Damage
97 Citations1971Barry D. Berger, C. David Wise +1 more
Recovery of feeding after hypothalamic lesions coincides with the recovery of noradrenergic reward function, and injection of norepinephrine in the lateral ventricles of rats recovering from lateral hypothalamic anorexia caused immediate feeding and, frequently, overeating.
BMJPituitary sensitivity to 50 micro g LH/FSH-RH in subjects with anorexia nervosa in acute and recovery stages.
68 Citations1975R. L. Palmer, Alex Harley Crisp +4 more
Gonadotrophic output was measured in response to a 50-mug dose of luteinizing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (LH/FSH-RH) in subjects with anorexia nervosa and the response to the releasing factor was similar to that usually observed in healthy men and women.
Clinical EndocrinologyTHE EFFECT OF NALOXONE ON PULSATILE GONADOTROPHIN RELEASE IN NORMAL SUBJECTS
57 Citations1981P. J. A. MOULT, Ashley Grossman +3 more
The data suggest that the pulsatile release of LH is under inhibitory opiate control, and the frequency of LH secretory episodes and the mean LH levels increased in both sexes.
PsychopharmacologyClonidine induced hyperphagia and weight gain in monkeys
54 Citations1979R. Francis Schlemmer, Regina C. Casper +2 more
All but two monkeys gained weight during clonidine treatment with seven animals gaining from 5–15% of their original body weight by the end of 1 week.

The emesis produced in dogs by intraventricular Met‐enkephalin and morphine is thus fully accounted for by an action on the CTZ, and the selective protective action of the opiate antagonist against Met‐ enkephaline and morphine supports the presence of enke phalin receptors in the emetic CTZ.
