Both are neurotransmitters.

Endorphin is for relieving pain.

Adrenaline or Epinephrine are used to give us a burst of energy to either fight or run away.

Endorphins are manufactured in the brain..adrenalin is made in the adrenal glands...they are both a form of steriods and are released into the blood stream when needed.
