Translations:Noradrenalin/3/en

Noradrenalin is one of the most important messengers of the central nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system. Heart, circulation, respiration, metabolism and gastrointestinal functions are controlled by the vegetative nervous system. This explains why some people react to stress with their stomach and intestines. Like adrenaline, noradrenaline increases blood pressure, but does not change the minute volume and even lowers the pulse rate.

Noradrenalin centrally controls mental and psychological stress adaptation. It also increases motivation, attention and mental motivation. In the short term, however, noradrenalin inhibits the immune response. Therefore, inflammation may occur under permanent stress. Permanent stress can also lead to norepinephrine deficiency, resulting in impaired mental performance and depression.
