In fact, worrying (or anxiety) can stimulate the release of epinephrine into your system, whereby it will bind with your beta-adrenergic receptors in your liver, causing your blood vessels to constrict and your blood pressure to rise, along with your heart rate (pulse).
Epinephrine and the heart. Epinephrine binds to beta-adrenergic receptors on heart muscle cells. This causes the contraction rate of the heart to increase. This ultimately leads to increased blood supply to the tissues in the body.pinephrine, along with another hormone called glucagon, is responsible for the breakdown of glycogen in liver cells. Glycogen is a form of energy storage in animals. Epinephrine binds to a receptor on the outside of a liver cell causing a conformational change to occur. This change means that a G protein can now bind.
