Abstract
Epinephrine is the first hormone to be isolated, identified, and synthesized in a laboratory. It is secreted by the adrenal glands under a fight or flight response when the body reacts towards an experience of harmful events and potential threats to survive. The biosynthesis of epinephrine produces a variety of different hormones in the process, and an investigation of the different effects each hormone has on the body may be considered. The objective of this paper is to view epinephrine’s effect on the body, the different syntheses of epinephrine, and applications of epinephrine on diseases. Research would be done on the biochemical reaction that synthesizes epinephrine, which boosts the different body functions, and determine epinephrine’s potential future medical applications.
