Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nicotine triggers the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are stress hormones that boost alertness and diminish appetite. Alcohol can increase appetite and decrease alertness, while heroin is an opioid that depresses the central nervous system and decreases both alertness and appetite. Ghrelin is a hormone produced by the stomach that stimulates appetite.
