Noradrenaline

Japanese: ノルアドレナリン(英語表記)noradrenaline
Noradrenaline
Norepinephrine, also known as arterenol, is a type of catecholamine secreted from the adrenal medulla, chromaffin cells, and sympathetic nerve cells, and acts as a neurotransmitter in the body. It is also a precursor of the adrenal medulla hormone adrenaline. It is found in greater amounts in the myocardium, testes, and ovaries than adrenaline. It increases free fatty acids in the blood, as well as increasing blood pressure and stimulating the central nervous system. It is used clinically as a hypertensive agent.
