Understanding Catecholamines and Their Functions by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Catecholamines are hormones that include adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine, which are synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine and act as neurotransmitters and hormones. They are produced mainly in the cells of the adrenal medulla and nerve endings of the sympathetic system, and cause physiological changes that prepare the body for physical activity. Dysfunctions in catecholaminergic pathways are related to disorders such as schizophrenia.
