Candace Pert
editThe section about Candace Pert and how thoughts that are "loving and empowering" can boost the immune system seems awefully subjective and a little unscientific. Unless a reference for solid empirical evidence to support these statements exists, I think that this bit should be removed Owz182 - 4th May 2008 17:16 GMT —Preceding unsigned comment added by Owz182 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
My thoughts were the same when reading this: the claim is vague as well as unsupported (and the first claim that needs support is that Candace Pert coined the word) and its relevance not clear at this early stage in the article: I wouldn't have thought the opening couple of paras about neuropeptides is the place for what is no doubt a quite complex theory about the action of neuropeptides and the insight they offer into the mind-body question. Of course, if it is true that Candace Pert coined the word specifically to express this theory that would make things different, but it would still need reformulation and support.

I do not think Candace Pert coined the term, David de Wied is probably a better suggestion: http://www.umcutrecht.nl/subsite/Rudolf_Magnus_Institute/About_the_Institute/History_Institute_/David_De_Wied.htm, I suggest that the section mentioning C. Pert is removed. --jengeldk (talk) 14:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Removed Candace pert section, as discussed above. Provide reasons/evidence if you believe it needs to be in the article. Cheers, willv. 10:15, 26 August 2008

vs Peptide hormones
editThis page nicely explains the difference between neuropeptides and peptide hormones, and then ignores the distinction by indistinguishably referencing members of both classes.

- They're not necessarily a dichotomy. Neurotransmitters and neuropeptides can be hormones, like dopamine and ghrelin respectively. Ghrelin is both a neuropeptide and a (peptide) hormone. The combined topic/field of study is neuroendocrinology though neuroendocrine cell is more relevant to this particular case. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢ | Maintained) 07:36, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
