Epinephrine ELISA kits are assays designed to detect the hormone and neurotransmitter epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. The chemical plays a key role in the ‘fight-or-flight’ response and the body’s reaction to stress. It increases heart rate, blood pressure and glucose level, dilates pupils, and opens bronchioles of the lungs. It carries out neurotransmitter functions in the medulla oblongata. Epinephrine is used as a medication for anaphylactic shock, asthma, and cardiac arrests. Visit the supplier page for more information about detection range and reactivity.
