...As a stress hormone, norepinephrine affects parts of the brain where attention and responding actions are controlled. Along with epinephrine, norepinephrine also underlies the fight-or-flight response, directly increasing heart rate, triggering the release of glucose from energy stores, and increasing blood flow to skeletal muscle.

Norepinephrine?
What other types of
interations (two, if
possible), other than Van der
Waals or hydrophobic forces,
could cause a neurotransmitter
(norepinephrine) to bind to
the nerve receptors?

Hydrogen bonding Covalent bond Covalent isn't likely because of the rapid on-off rates for norepi at both the alpha and beta receptors, but you asked for 2, so I threw that one in. |

What happens to Am I right in thinking that
Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine
released in the synaptic cleft
gets removed by been broken
down to small inactive
componets which then get
abosorbed back into the
pre-synaptic cleft to be
resynthesised to
Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine?
If I am right, any further
detail would be great. Thanks
alot.

Details are not known. But norepinephrine and noradrenaline are deaminated,methylated and products released to tissue fluids whence they are detoxicated. These hormones are not recycled. |

It is a fat burning hormone and neurotransmitter in the brain. It means that it increases the fat burning hormone to help you lose weight faster. Yes it does increase the heart rate as it does the following: "Norepinephrine is similar to adrenaline. It works by constricting (narrowing) the blood vessels and increasing blood pressure and blood glucose (sugar) levels." Michelle |
