What is the function of pethidine in the body?

According to how it works: (quote) Acts as agonist at specific opioid receptors in the CNS to produce analgesia, euphoria, sedation; the receptors mediating these effects are thought to be the same as those mediating the effects of endogenous opioids (enkephalins, endorphins).(end).It is agonist meaning that it helps the receptors in the brain and spinal cord to be more open to the actions of sedation and reduces the feeling of pain. All-in-all, it acts just like opium (opiate).


Endorphins are chemicals that make you feel?

good and reduce pain by binding to the brain's opioid receptors. They are often released during activities like exercise, laughter, and even eating spicy foods. Endorphins can create a sense of euphoria and well-being.


What is the Substance That Mimic Neurotransmitter Action?

Substances that mimic neurotransmitter action are known as agonists. These compounds bind to neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, activating them and producing effects similar to those of the natural neurotransmitters. Examples include drugs like morphine, which mimics endorphins, and certain psychoactive substances that resemble serotonin or dopamine. By mimicking these neurotransmitters, agonists can influence mood, perception, and various physiological functions.


What derivatives are formed in casein breakdown?

The breakdown of casein, a milk protein, can produce various bioactive peptides with potential health benefits. These peptides include casomorphins, which have opioid-like properties, and lactokinins, which may have blood pressure-lowering effects. The specific derivatives formed depend on the enzymes involved in the breakdown process.


Can you have too many endorphins?

I've never heard of such a thing. Simply because you would likely pass out before building up such high endorphin levels (which are now being researched as NOT being the cause of the "runner's high")But endorphin is essentially natural morphine so theoretically a lot of it would be bad for you, but I don't imagine someone accumulating that much through natural measures.

What is Manufactured by the brain to help relieve pain?

The brain releases endorphins in response to pain. These endorphins are a lot like the man-made pain-killer morphine.


What chemical or energy produce when you are smileing?

What causes your hands to get weak when you laugh a lot?

Endorphins(the body's natural morphine) are released when laughing. Just like medical pain stillers the endorphins also cause a numbing of the nerve endings, causing a feeling of weakness.


How are endorphins like morphine?

Endorphin means "endogenous morphine," endogenous meaning created within the body. when your exercise, lift weights, swim, run, etc. the tension on your muscles caues your body to release a pain killer (beta-endorphin) to allow you to not feel the pain and focus on whatever it was you were trying to accomplish. there structure of endorphins is what drugs like morphine and heroin are based upon, and is why they attach to the same opiod receptors as endorphins. Due to their similar structure as a painkiller, this is where the euphoric notion after excersice or other strenous activities comes from. The difference is in the fact that endorphins are pre-synaptic, meaning they dont change to chemistry of your brain or cause an irregular dopamine release, which is what causes addiction from painkiller drugs that do this. But to sum up the question, t


What Opiate-like substance found in the brain?

Why do people use an endorphins drug?

People may use drugs that cause their body to produce endorphins for many reasons. Most commonly, people use drugs to produce endorphins within their body because they want to feel good, or feel "high", to alter their reality artificially. Some people may take these drugs because they are depressed, and simply want to feel normal.

How do opiates and narcotics affectthe nervous system?

The nervous system produces its own version of morphine. (endorphins, dynophins, enkephalin, etc.) These intrinsic opiates act at different opiate receptors(mu, beta, and kappa receptors). Extrinsic opiates, like morphine, also fit into these receptors and result in the same effects as intrinsic body opiates.(morphine's pain relieving effects are mostly due to interaction with the mu opiate receptor). Hope that helps
