Endorphins: Natural Pain and Stress Fighters (cont.) In addition to decreased feelings of pain, secretion of endorphins leads to feelings of euphoria, modulation of appetite, release of sex hormones, and enhancement of the immune response. With high endorphin levels, we feel less pain and fewer negative effects of stress.
Endorphins (contracted from endogenous morphine[note 1]) are endogenous opioid neuropeptides and peptide hormones in humans and other animals. They are produced by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. The term endorphins implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. It consists of two parts: endo-and -orphin; these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine, intended to mean a morphine-like substance originating from within the body.
