	Endorphin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "endorphin" implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation.
		Other studies use an opioid antagonist, usually naloxone, to indirectly measure the release of endorphins by observing the changes that occur when any endorphin activity that might be present is blocked.
		Endorphins are released during long, continuous workouts, when the level of intensity is between moderate and high and if it is difficult to breathe.

		Endorphins are produced by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus of vertebrates.
		Endorphins not only regulate pain and hunger, but are also involved in the release of sex hormones from the pituitary gland.
		Opiates act in a similar way to endorphins, but are not rapidly degraded by the body, as natural endorphins are, and thus have a long-lasting effect on pain perception and mood.

		Endorphins are neurohormone polypeptide molecules, synthesised by the hypothalamus of the brain and secreted into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland.
		Beta endorphins consist of 30 amino acid subunits and it is the beta endorphins which show the greatest increase in plasma concentration during times of exercise.
		Endorphins have an antagonistic effect on the receptors and therefore block the release of neurotransmitter molecules from the nerve terminal.

		Currently, endorphin tends to be used on projects that require lots of animation data (like most games), or have shots that are hard to key-frame or motion capture.
		endorphin is in use at post-production houses (such as Moving Picture Company and The Mill), as well as many large game development studios, such as Sony, Namco or Konami.
		Also, endorphin is extremely well suited to create character-character interactions (such as tackles), which is another big area of application.

In addition, some experts in professions such as acupuncture and message therapy claim that endorphins are released during treatment, providing additional benefits.
		High blood endorphins are also found in women during the contractions of active labor, and are highest just after birth, especially following a vaginal delivery. Newborns who had signs of fetal distress during delivery also show elevated levels of endorphins. endorphins may account for the high mothers’ experience after birth when sleep eludes them.
