“…This result is consistent with previously conducted research (Demuth and Czerniak, 2011;Majewska, 2011;Moljord et al, 2011;Richards et al, 2015;Lathia et al, 2017). Higher happiness in people who exercise regularly may result from their greater level of endorphins, triggering positive emotions, which are components of happiness (Starosta, 1995;Dsouza et al, 2020). People's change in mood may be affected by biological factors.…”

“…Arecoline is reported to have anthelmintic activity ( 78 , 79 ), while 10-nitro-9 Z ,12 Z -octadecadienoic acid ( 80 ) and colforsin ( 81 , 82 ) are known for displaying anti-inflammatory and apoptosis action. Campestanol ( 83 ), SM(d18:0/0:0) ( 84 ), ethoxyquin ( 85 , 86 ), phendimetrazine ( 87 ), 10-deoxymethymycin ( 88 ), anandamide (20:2, n -6) ( 89 ), and miltefosine ( 90 ) have hypocholesterolemic, cell signaling, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anorexigenic, antibacterial, fatty acid neurotransmitter, and antileishmanial effects, while no bioactivity has been reported for 11-amino-undecanoic acid, d -pantetheine 4′-phosphate, and 3-hydroxytetradecanedioic acid. The biologically active compounds diethylcarbamazine, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), 2-propyl-9 Z -octadecenoic acid, and oleandrin ( 72 , 91 95 ) detected in the bioactive fraction of PBR11Fr-2 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory action, antiplasmodial activity, anticancer effects, novel antiviral activity, and anorexigenic effects.…”

“…Serotonin and endorphins are neurotransmitters that play a role in controlling happiness [45]. Likewise, endocannabinoids and melatonin also increase feelings of happiness [46]. Laughter can increase pleasant taste sensations and trigger the release of endogenous opioids in the thalamus, caudate nucleus, and anterior insula.…”
