I agree, although I am unqualified to do so.
I could not recite, without doing my own research, exactly which chemicals are endorphines. Are they neurotransmitters? Hormones? We tend to know them popularly as the pleasure chemicals that perform like opiates, suggesting that they act on receptor sites sensitive to opiates. Actually, opiates might act on receptor sites sensitive to endorphines I would guess. Can anyone out here offer a quick brief on the neurochemistry of endorphines?
