Adrenergic signaling

Adrenergic signaling refers to the process by which the body responds to stress or excitement through the action of adrenaline (epinephrine) and norepinephrine, two important hormones. When you're under stress, these hormones are released into the bloodstream and bind to specific receptors in various organs. This triggers a range of physiological responses, like increased heart rate, heightened alertness, and energy mobilization, preparing the body for a "fight or flight" response. Essentially, adrenergic signaling helps the body react quickly to challenging situations, enabling survival.
