Epinephrine, or adrenaline, is a hormone released by the adrenal glands as part of a âfight or flightâ response. Its function is to prepare the body to flee or fight back. As such, it must affect a wide range of bodily tissues, including the muscles, circulatory system, and lungs.
The mechanism of action of epinephrine is as a sympathomimetic catecholamine acting on both alpha- and beta-andrenergic receptors. Of catecholamines, it is the most potent activator of alpha receptors resulting in intense vasoconstriction. Its beta receptor action promotes bronchial smooth muscle relaxation, resulting in significant bronchodilation.
