Molecular model of the hormone adrenaline

Adrenaline. Molecular model of the hormone adrenaline, or epinephrine (formula C9H13NO3). The atoms are spherical and colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (light blue) and oxygen (red). Adrenaline is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands above the kidneys. It is released at times of stress or fear to allow the body to work harder for a short time, leading to a " fight or flight" response. It has the effect of increasing the speed and force of the heartbeat, widening the airways to allow the lungs to take in more oxygen, and directing blood to the muscles to allow them to work harder. As a drug, it is used to treat severe asthma and anaphylactic shock

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of the hormone adrenaline, also known as epinephrine. The intricate structure is beautifully represented with spherical atoms color-coded to highlight their composition: carbon in blue, hydrogen in white, nitrogen in light blue, and oxygen in red. Adrenaline is naturally produced in the adrenal glands located above the kidneys. In times of stress or fear, adrenaline is released into our bodies to initiate a remarkable "fight or flight" response. This hormone enables us to push ourselves beyond limits for a short period by increasing heart rate and strength, widening airways for enhanced oxygen intake, and directing blood flow towards muscles for increased performance. Beyond its natural function within our bodies, adrenaline serves as an important drug used to treat severe asthma and anaphylactic shock. Its chemical properties make it effective at combating these conditions by providing relief and stabilizing patients during critical situations. The molecular model captured here not only represents the complexity of this vital hormone but also highlights its significance within biochemistry research and medical advancements. It stands as a testament to the incredible intricacies found within nature's own compounds that continue to inspire scientists worldwide.
