ENDORPHINS - YOUR NATURAL HIGH

ENDORPHIN: class of biochemicals-neurohormones modifying nerve cells' response to transmitters. In the 60's, bio-med studies of cause-effects of opium addiction, detected suspected opiate recep-tors in brain tissue. Since it seemed quite unlikely that humans (?other vertebrates) would contain a specifif receptor designed for a chemical derived from the poppy plant, the researchers focused their attention on biochemicals that might be synthesized in the brain itself.
