The next hormone is epinephrine, or adrenaline. This hormone is a natural secretion of the
adrenaline glands in the human body. Its primary function in the human body is to assist the
body in the coping with sudden surges of stress. When a person unexpectedly finds himself in
a stressful situation filled with fear or anger, a large amount of epinephrine is released into
the blood and the body responds with an increased heartbeat, higher blood pressure, and
conversion of glycogen into glucose for energy to enable the body to deal with stress.
It is possible to extract epinephrine from the adrenaline glands of animals or to
synthesize it chemically in order to put it to further use. It is used in the treatment of severe
