These are two interchangeable terms for the hormone that is secreted from the adrenal gland when our body perceives a threat. It is responsible for the “fight or flight” reaction. Epinephrine activates the body’s energy reserves thus keeping us safe by allowing us to fight for survival, or to flee from dangerous situations. It causes increased heart rate; blood pressure and blood flow to the brain, muscles, lungs and heart. Unfortunately the body produces the same response to real physical threat & mental or emotional stress.
