Epinephrine, also known as adrenalin, is a hormone that is responsible for the fight or flight reaction in mammals. Chemically, it mobilizes the body's defense system, inducing the release into the blood of large amounts of glucose from stores in the liver and muscles.ndeed, during the fight or flight reaction, the organism needs to release energy in the form of glucose and fatty acids rather than store energy as glycogen or fat. Figure 1. Chemical structure of epinephrine. Clinically, epinephrine plays a lifesaving role in countering the effects of anaphylactic shock.
