Grammar

The text below seems to have been written by a person who speaks some other language than English as a first language:

How endorphins/enkephalins work in human body.

Endorphins are a type of inhibitory nerve that reduces the cell voltage of the excitory nerve, causing the signal to weaken. It is a type of presynaptic inhibition. How it works is that it acts as a secondary nerve that changes the calcium influx of another nerve, therefore reducing the signal. Endorphins work to lessen the pain in humans.

Several types of drugs that is related to endorphins that acts as an inhibitory nerve are morphine, heroin, and codeine.

Can anyone fact-check this and convert it into grammatical English?

I don't think the person is foreign, I just think they either can't write well, or don't know the proper term. Maybe they mean "never inhibitor" instead of "inhibitory nerve."?

The discussion above has been pretty much rendered moot by subsequent changes to the page. --Dcfleck 15:17, 2005 May 30 (UTC)

This and most other articles describing hormones, neuro-transmitters, etc. are written using medical jargon that is vague and confusing to the average reader. Can't these articles be written so that they use or at least explain in normal terms what is being said? If the subject was thermodynamics someone would complain that it was too technical but biology seems to get a pass on clarity. RDXelectric (talk) 00:45, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Endophines are just some of the many chemicals that contribute to the runner's high

There are many chemicles in the bloodstream that contribute to runners high, including adrenaline,noradrenalin dopamine, serotonin and more, so I think this is not relevant. Therefore I'm removing, if someone's going to add something on runner's high, make a new page for it and make sure you know ALL the chemicles involved. --92.6.232.214 (talk) 15:29, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

So-called "runner's high"

" their research possibly demonstrating the high comes from completing a challenge rather than as a result of exertion"

Is this widely considered to be a possibility, and should it be in the article? I don't know much about this, but I often experience this 'runner's high' after exercise without having any feeling of accomplishment... and when I do feel accomplishment, it isn't nearly enough to explain the feeling for me personally. So from an outsider's view, this comment in the article quickly made me wonder how many scientists "some scientists" was supposed to mean, and how widely agreed apon the various explanations are... as this article might give the impression that the view of "runner's high" = "accomplishment" is a widely agreed scientific fact.

Runner's high is also the object of various other stray items in this discussion page: Mechanism demystified, Disambiguation needed, Talk:Endorphin#Evidence indicating endocannabinoid causes runners high is weak., This can't be right can it?.

It's not a good idea that "Runner's high" redirects to "Endorphin", since 1° that makes up too great a part of the article, 2° the role of endorphins in that phenomenon is still controversial (are they the main factor or not?). Ideally, "Runner's high" should be a separate article, and the discussion items named above should be moved to the discussion page of that article.

By the way, in its current state the section on Runner's high is more a bit of a patchwork of different scientific opinions that are not clearly differenciated or organized (not to speak of synthetized, which might be premature).

Wouldn't this section be better as a separate article? Clearly it is related, but it feels a bit off topic. Esspecially given that the section discusses a range of other explanations for the 'runner's high'. --81.227.236.252 (talk) 16:16, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Video games

"Research has also shown that video game playing can release endorphins." This assertion needs a reference to back it up. Karl Stas 22:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

COPULATION ELEVATES PLASMA ß-ENDORPHIN IN THE MALE HAMSTER

Are you not interested in making the strong dependency between (hamster) sexual behaviour and hypophyseal ß-endorphin incretions into the brain vessels obvious? vk

I'd like to remind you to sign your posts and please don't write in all-caps.

Thank you for your understanding.

removing more sex claims

Karl Stas took out a bunch of the unreferenced sex claims over a month ago, and no one has produced a citation, so I'm taking out the one remaining quantitative sentence, and leaving only the general statement that some claim sex involves endorphins. It's equally unreferenced, but it's gotta be true. --Allen 04:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Although a bit funny to read, what is the relevance to Working out gives you endorphines. Endorphines make you happy. Happy people just don't kill their husbands. Fr0 01:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation needed

A search for "runners high" (without an apostrophe) goes straight to an alt. rock album by the pillows. Searching "runner's high" goes to this page. Can someone make a disambiguation page?

References still needed?

The [Endorphin#Activity|Activity section] is still listed as needing references, but it certainly seems like there are plenty there (although I'd say the citations need to be cleaned up). Is there any reason this is still there? Can anyone offer any specifics as to why it was first added? Andrewski 17:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Chocolate

What in chocolate causes endorphines to be released?

  Theobromine is an alkaloid belonging to the methylxanthines.  The structure of theobromine is similar to that of caffeine.  

Chocolate also contains Phenethylamine - a precursor to many neurotransmitters - this is also thought to increase the release of acetylcholine, another powerful brain chemical which is r responsible for improving mood.

Theobromine in chocolate is thought to be a mimic molecule which lowers the trigger threshold of the pineal gland and can cause a cascade effect. Initially the mimic action will cause increased arousal in the pleasure centers, and reaction begins. It is short lived however. 104.32.252.213 (talk) 21:03, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
