Abstract

According to the often-cited “endorphin hypothesis”, endogenous opioidergic transmitter release has been postulated as the neurochemical basis of some of the psychophysical effects associated with endurance exercise, in particular mood changes. This chapter provides an overview on the applicability of positron emission tomography (PET) ligand activation studies with opioidergic tracers for imaging endogenous opioidergic transmission associated with exercise.
