from Chapter 12/ Lesson 9 106K The adrenal gland contains a subcomponent known as the adrenal medulla which is tightly linked with our fight or flight response. Learn about the catecholamines called epinephrine and norepinephrine that are released by the adrenal...
Catecholamines.Catecholamines are the hormones that your body releases when you’re in a stressful situation. These hormones are made by the inner part of your adrenal glands, which are called the adrenal medulla. The catecholamines that your adrenal medulla release include: Adrenaline.Also called ep...
Our catecholamines, there are going to be a little bit higher stress hormone, our blood glucose is going to be a little wonky, our blood pressure, heart rate. All this stuff is going to be a little bit out of sorts. We might be able to get diagnosed with something. We might be ...

Dopamine is not only a neurotransmitter, but also a neurohormone thatworks in conjunction with epinephrine and norepinephrineas one of the three main catecholamines. All are created within the adrenal gland. Dopamine is tasked with creatingfeelings of pleasure, drive, reward, and gratification, and ...
In states of stress, the sympathetic nervous system is particularly active (see “Short excursion: The autonomic nervous system“). In addition, catecholamines, a complex of hormones with an activating effect, are released. These cause the vessels in the muscles and other organs to dilate and th...
For example, according to a research study published in theJournal of European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology,cellulitecan be caused byincreased levels ofcatecholaminesdue to high stress and raisedcortisol levels. Things like stress and a poor diet also cause your body toslow down production...
As the animals began to fast and decline, there was more activity in genes that produce neurotransmitters called catecholamines, steroids that metabolize cholesterol, and insulin-like factors. It' s the first time the optic gland has been linked to metabolism, besides reproduction. ...
Box 3 Pitfalls in psychopharmacology There are many ways to obscure, bias, or contaminate drug effects on behaviour and brain function. In this respect 'electropsychopharmacology' is not different from psychopharmacology. Here some potentials pitfalls are mentioned that are relevant to the remainder of...
The theoretical explanation for the effects of meditation and relaxation techniques is that the release of catecholamines and other stress hormones are reduced and parasympathetic activity is increased. Whether meditation involves other unique neurophysiological effects remains to be proven. Learn how to med...
