The action of this hormone, which isn't isoprenaline, is inhibited by beta blockers. This substance is the primary one synthesized by chromaffin cells that lie interior to the zona reticularis; those cells are found in a region called the "medulla".

For 10 points, name this hormone produced by a namesake gland above the kidneys, which modulates the "fight or flight" response.
