What are the metabolic changes that occur when we are disgusted?

When we are happy or elated (euphoria) then endorphins are released.

When we are angry adrenaline is released.

These emotions have been mapped to specific "bio-chemical markers" that define these conditions?

What about disgust?

I read in a study (of recent vintage) that shriveling our nose is a universal response to disgust.

Then what are the corresponding metabolic changes that take place when we are disgusted?

 

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.
