Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It transmits information of excitement and happiness, and it is also related to addiction. Arvid-Carlson and others won the Nobel Prize for their research on dopamine.

Endorphin, also known as endorphin or endorphin, is an endogenous morphine-like biochemical compound hormone (secreted by pituitary gland). It can combine with morphine receptor to produce the same pain relief and euphoria as morphine and opiates. Equivalent to natural analgesics. The use of drugs can increase the secretion effect of endorphins. Endorphins are similar to a sense of accomplishment and inner peace.

It is endorphins, not dopamine, that produce new pleasure during long-distance exercise.
