Endophrin - Google Search

Endorphins are endogenous opioid neuropeptides that are produced naturally in the body. They act as analgesics by binding to the same opioid receptors in the brain that are targeted by opiates like morphine. Endorphins are released during activities like exercise, sex, eating spicy foods, and in response to pain or stress in order to relieve pain and produce feelings of pleasure or euphoria. Common sources of endorphin release include aerobic exercise, laughter, meditation, and acupuncture.

words “endogenous,” meaning from within the body, and
“morphine,” which is an opiate pain reliever. In other
words, endorphins got their name because they are
natural pain relievers. Endorphins consist of a large group
of peptides. Jul 11, 2017
