Endogenous compounds

Endogenous compounds are chemicals produced naturally within the body, such as hormones, enzymes, or neurotransmitters. They play essential roles in maintaining bodily functions like growth, mood regulation, immune response, and energy use. Since these compounds are made internally, they are distinct from external substances like drugs or toxins. Understanding endogenous compounds helps scientists study how the body works and how certain diseases or conditions develop, guiding effective treatments and health maintenance.
