a neuropeptide which has specific binding sites on nerve cells called opiate receptors. When the receptor is activated by endorphins or morphine it reduces the excitability of the post synaptic cell. Peptide receptors are also found on lymphocytes which suggest an association between neuropeptides and the regulation of the immune response.

Endorphins are natural painkillers produced by the body. The protein molecules bind to receptors in the brain and spinal cord to stop messages of pain and create an analgesic effect. In the treatment of back pain, electrical stimulation has been shown to promote the release of endorphins. Likewise, aerobic exercise for a prolonged period of time is...
