Usage Examples English
  • Adrenergic means "working on adrenaline (epinephrine) or noradrenaline (norepinephrine)" (or on their receptors).
  • Thyroid hormone increases the number of beta adrenergic receptors available for epinephrine at the latter's target cell, thereby increasing epinephrine's effect on that cell.
  • Both glucagon and epinephrine can trigger the cAMP-PKA cascade, while epinephrine also binds to the α-adrenergic receptor to trigger a phosphoinositide cascade, resulting in the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • Taylor was known to have had allergies that congested her upper respiratory system and she used Primatene, an over-the-counter epinephrine inhaler, to combat shortness of breath.
  • Metanephrine (metadrenaline) is a metabolite of epinephrine (adrenaline) created by action of catechol-O-methyl transferase on epinephrine.

  • If necessary, it can also be given intravenously using a dilute epinephrine solution.
  • Studies have suggested that glucose, together with epinephrine from the adrenal medulla have an effect on memory.
  • Nicotine also activates the sympathetic nervous system, acting via splanchnic nerves to the adrenal medulla, stimulating the release of epinephrine.
  • Epinephrine (adrenaline) is the first-line treatment for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
  • Epinephrine is an α and β adrenergic agonist that has been used to treat other upper respiratory tract illnesses, such as croup, as a nebulized solution.

  • In dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency, the entire body cannot efficiently produce epinephrine and norepinephrine from dopamine, this results in severe dysautonomia but most crucially due to autonomous nervous system failure which requires epinephrine and norepinephrine as neurotransmitters, dopamine being used in this pathology as an inadequate substitute.
  • Moderate to severe croup (for example, in the case of severe stridor) may be improved temporarily with nebulized epinephrine.
  • Induced by high epinephrine and low insulin levels in the blood, epinephrine binds to beta-adrenergic receptors on the cell membrane of the adipocyte, which causes cAMP to be generated inside the cell.
  • An epinephrine autoinjector (or adrenaline autoinjector, also known by the trademark EpiPen) is a medical device for injecting a measured dose or doses of epinephrine (adrenaline) by means of autoinjector technology.
  • Anaphylactic shock requires advanced medical care immediately; but other first aid measures include rescue breathing (part of CPR) and administration of epinephrine using an EpiPen for immediate administration of epinephrine (adrenaline) to reverse swelling and to keep the respiratory airway (trachea) open.
