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).
bind to membrane receptors, are often used in paracrine and autocrine signaling. They generally modulate the effect of other hormones. Once a signaling molecule binds to its receptor it causes a conformational change in it that results in a cellular response. The same ligand can bind to different receptors causing different responses (e.g.. acetylcholine). On the other hand, different ligands binding to different receptors can produce the. same cellular response (e.g. glucagon, epinephrine).
