Endorphin



Overview
Endorphins (contracted from "endogenous morphine") are endogenous opioid peptides synthesized and stored in the pituitary gland. They function as the body's natural painkillers, blocking pain perception and promoting feelings of well-being. Endorphins are produced in the brain and adrenal medulla, particularly during physical exercise, and act to inhibit pain, relieve muscle cramps, and reduce stress.
