Endorphin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1185 words) |
 | They are peptides produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates, and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a sense of well-being. |
| The term "endorphin" implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. |
| Endorphins are released during long, continuous workouts, when the level of intensity is between moderate and high and if it is difficult to breathe. |
