Binding of Epinephrine to Adrenergic Receptors Induces Tissue-Specific Responses. Epinephrine and norepinephrine were originally recognized as products of the medulla, or core, of the adrenal gland and are also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Norepinephrine is also made in the adrenal medulla where it synthesized from dopamine and is released into the blood as a hormone. Epinephrine is made from norepinephrine inside the adrenal medulla (the inner part of the adrenal gland, a small gland associated with the kidneys). Our adrenal medulla helps us to cope with physical and emotional stress. The synthesis of epinephrine increases during times of stress.
