What's the difference between andofen and dopamine?

I. Concept

1, endorphin: Endorphin is an endogenous morphine-like biochemical compound hormone (secreted by pituitary gland). It is an amino compound (peptide) secreted by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus of vertebrates.

2. Dopamine: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical used to help cells transmit pulses.

Second, the role

1, andofen: It combines with morphine receptor to produce the same analgesic effect and euphoria as morphine and opioids. Equivalent to natural painkillers. The use of drugs can increase the secretion of endorphins. It also has many other physiological functions, such as regulating body temperature, cardiovascular and respiratory functions.

2. Dopamine: Dopamine is related to people's lust and feelings, and it conveys information of excitement and happiness. In addition, dopamine is also related to various addictive behaviors. Help to improve memory.

Third, nature.

1, endorphins: There are four types of endorphins: α, β, γ and δ. Among them, β -endorphin is abundant in pituitary gland. Enenkephalins are two special pentapeptide compounds in endogenous opioids: leucine and methionine enkephalin, which contain active groups similar to morphine.

2. Dopamine: density 1.247g/cm3, melting point 2 18~220℃, boiling point 337.7℃ at 760mmHg, and flash point 158℃. Store in a low temperature, ventilated and dry environment.
