Serenity is an innovative formula from a cherry-flavored, powdered drink mix. It contains a blend of ingredients that supports the body's natural synthesis of catecholamines, the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, hormonal balance, and healthy glucose metabolism. Serenity promotes a calm, relaxed, well-balanced emotional and physiological state.* LEARN MORE *Follow recommended dosing or use as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

hormone synthesis, transport, binding, and effects. Three classes of hormones: - Peptides and proteins (P&P) - Steroids (S) - Amines (A) – Catecholamines (C) – Thyroid hormones (T)4 hormone physiology features:Synthesis • Hormones can be made in advance and stored prior to secretion. – The peptide and protein hormones, and amines follow this model. • Alternatively, they can be synthesized and secreted on demand. – The steroids follow this model.Transport • This generally depends on chemical structure. • Hormones can either: – Dissolve and travel freely in the blood – the peptides and proteins and also the catecholamines: they are water soluble (aka, hydrophilic) – Bind carrier proteins – the steroid and thyroid hormones are less water soluble and travel bound to carrier proteins. Receptor binding • The chemical relationship between hormones and target cell membranes determines whether hormones: – Bind surface membrane receptors – the peptide and protein hormones and the catecholamines, and in some cases, steroid hormones where they have non-genomic effects on the cell. – Bind intracellular receptors -- because they are lipophilic (lipid soluble), steroid hormones and thyroid hormones readily slip past the cell membrane to bind with cytoplasmic and/or nuclear receptors.Mechanism of Action • Hormones can modify existing proteins within a cell – the peptide and protein hormones and the catecholamines. • Or they can trigger protein synthesis – the peptide and protein hormones do this, as well, as do the steroid and thyroid hormones.
Norepinephrine is selective for alpha receptors and therefore it mainly shows alpha mediated actions.

An auxiliary test to fractionated plasma and urine metanephrine measurements in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma An auxiliary test to urine vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid determination in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with neuroblastoma and related tumors This test is not useful as a first-line test for pheochromocytoma.
An overview of all the available literature on the various aspects of the regulation of the cardiovascular system`s function and physiology by the adrenergic neurohormonal system, i.e. the catecholamines norepinephrine and epinephrine. Although there are several books describing the adrenergic system`s biology, physiology and pharmacology, and also several excellent books on cardiovascular physiology and pathology, this book focuses exclusively on the interface of these two areas: cardiovascular regulation by the adrenergic system and how it affects cardiovascular diseases and their treatments. Each chapter describe the roles of the adrenergic system first in each cardiovascular cell type (cell type-by-cell type) and then in specific areas of cardiovascular physiology, such as in exercise and in cardiovascular metabolism. Finally, the book concludes with a chapter on the adrenergic system`s role in the currently very \"hot\" (in terms of scientific investigations) area of cardiovascular stem cell biology. The book covers the adrenergic system--specifically and exclusively in the heart and vessels. It is formatted by cardiovascular cell type-by-cell type manner, rather than in an organ-by-organ or in a disease-by-disease manner, as usually discussed in standard, conventional biomedical textbooks. The book also discusses the adrenergic system in novel, cutting-edge cardiovascular research areas, in which it has not been covered well so far (e.g. stem cells, exercise). These three areas constitute the most important assets of the book, which sets it apart from others in the field.
