GlossaryCatecholamines

hormones from adrenal glands involved in stress response

Catecholamines are a group of hormones produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. These hormones, including adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and dopamine, play a crucial role in the body's stress response by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. They are also involved in the regulation of mood, attention, and the fight-or-flight response.
