Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine (abbreviated norep) or noradrenaline was a hormone and neurotransmitter in the humanoid central nervous system. As a stress hormone, it affected the part of the brain that controlled alertness as well as the fight-or-flight response. Along with epinephrine or adrenaline, it increased heart rate and blood pressure, thus increasing blood flow to muscles in addition to triggering the release of glucose from the body's energy stores.
