Detailed explanation-1: -Epinephrine. Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) plays a role in the body’s “fight-or-flight” response. It is both a hormone and a neurotransmitter. When a person experiences stress or fear, their body releases epinephrine .
Detailed explanation-2: -Catecholamines include neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which are released during the body’s stress response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Endorphins can also release stress and create a feeling of well-being. Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers.
