Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SAM reactivity is associated with the release of catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) in response to stress. Therefore, the doctor most likely concluded that Keren has high stress levels based on the high levels of catecholamines found in her blood. Serotonin, androgens, and estrogens are not directly related to SAM reactivity.
