Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endorphins are known as natural painkillers that are released by the body in response to stress or pain. They play a role in inhibiting the release of substance P, a neuropeptide involved in pain transmission, in the spinal cord. This inhibitory effect helps to reduce the transmission of pain signals from the periphery to the brain. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as endorphins inhibit the release of substance P in the spinal cord.
