Catecholamines, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, are hormones and neurotransmitters that play crucial roles in the body's response to stress and regulation of various physiological processes. They are involved in the "fight or flight" response, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy availability. Additionally, catecholamines influence mood, attention, and the regulation of metabolic processes. Their balanced levels are essential for maintaining overall physiological function and mental health.
