Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Epinephrine is an endogenous catecholamine acting at α₁, α₂, β₁ and β₂ adrenergic receptors. It increases cardiac output, bronchodilation, vasoconstriction and glycogenolysis. Its broad receptor profile makes it essential in physiological stress‑response modelling.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in adrenergic‑receptor signalling research, anaphylaxis‑pathway studies, cardiac electrophysiology assays, and fight‑or‑flight modelling.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include arrhythmias, hypertension, anxiety, tremor, hyperglycemia and tissue necrosis upon extravasation. Handle with potent catecholamine precautions.
