*contracted from “endo-genous morphine”*
.
*”endorphins” are ‘endogenous opioid neuropeptides’ + ‘peptide hormones’ in ‘humans’ + 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 2 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”)
.
(the class of ‘endorphin compounds’ includes…) –>
α-endorphin
β-endorphin
γ-endorphin
σ-endorphin
α-neo-endorphin
β-neo-endorphin)
.
(the principal function of ‘endorphins’ is to inhibit the ‘transmission’ of ‘pain signals’)
.
(they may also produce a feeling of ‘euphoria’ very similar to that produced by other ‘opioids’)
