  1. noradrenaline

    Noradrenaline, also known as norepinephrine, is a naturally occurring chemical in the human body that acts as both a hormone and a neurotransmitter. It is produced in several parts of the body, particularly in the adrenal medulla, and functions to mobilize the brain and body for action. Noradrenaline is involved in the body's response to stress or danger, often leading to increased heart rate, release of glucose from energy stores, and increased blood flow to skeletal muscles. It plays a major role in mood regulation, anxiety and focus.
