CNS and bind to opioid receptors; they regulate the perception of pain ENKEPHALINS – A group of neuropeptide transmitters which are produced in the CNS and bind to opioid receptors; they regulate the perception of pain. ENZYME – A protein which has the ability to control a chemical reaction within a cell. EPINEPHRINE (SEE ADRENALINE) ESTROGENS – A group of sex hormones* more abundant in females than males. The brain contains numerous oestrogen receptors which is consistent with a hypothesis that estrogens play a neuroprotective role. EXCITATION – An influence of one neurone on another which facilitates an action potential. EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL (EPSP) – A change in local potential occurring at the synapse which depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane and works towards producing an action potential in the postsynaptic cell. FOREBRAIN – The largest division of the brain which includes the cerebral cortex*

In addition to that, it is notable that the female body is naturally designed to store more fat for reproductive purposes. Researchers have found that oestrogen, a primary female sex hormone, is what reduces fatty acid oxidation and is, as a result, responsible for increased body fat in women.14 A clear indicator to why vegetarian women were at the highest risk for developing coronary artery disease was not found. One possible reason behind it could be that vegetarian women consumed an unhealthier diet compared to their non-vegetarian counterparts. Vegetarians, unlike vegans, do still consume some animal derived foods;
