Description

General description

Epinephrine is a hormone, which is also termed as adrenaline. It is a monoamine and catecholamine.

Application

(-)Epinephrine (+)-bitartrate salt has been used:

• to test the possible existence of β-adrenergic vasodilation
• to infuse into the adipose region to minimize blood loss and tissue contamination
• as a platelet agonist in the preparation of optimal platelet aggregometry 96-well plates
• in the measurement of total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) enzymatic activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Epinephrine is mainly liberated from adrenal medulla in response to stress, that is facilitated through sympathetic fibers.

Adrenergic receptor agonist.
