The representative brain substances such as b-endorphin, dopamine and orexin are released when we feel the food is delicious, want to eat it more and show actual feeding behavior, respectively. Dopamine activates the reward system in the brain which is known to be the neural substrate of drug addictions. Since these - substances interact with each other to facilitate their releases, the food addiction may reflect the state of over-releases of these substances to particular food items. Key words : addiction, b-endorphin, dopamine, orexin, reward system
