Answer / ramanuj
: One of the body's own painkillers, an opioid (morphine-
like) chemical produced by the body that serves to suppress
pain.
Endorphins are manufactured in the brain, spinal cord, and
many other parts of the body. They are released in response
to neurotransmitters and bind to certain neuron receptors
(the same ones that bind opiate medicines). Endorphins act
as analgesics (diminishing the perception of pain) and as
sedatives.
Chemically, endorphins are peptides (amino acid chains that
are shorter than proteins) and they are rapidly inactivated
by enzymes called peptidases.
