Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a major player in the chemical response comprising the autonomic fight-or-flight stress response system. It is released from the adrenal gland in response to stress and triggers a series of physiological changes in the body, including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels to prepare the body for physical action. Cortisol is also involved in the stress response but plays a different role in regulating metabolism and immune function. Dopamine and oxytocin are not directly involved in the stress response.
