Descriptor epinefrina
Entry term(s) adrenalina
Scope note: La hormona simpaticomimética activa de la médula suprarrenal. Estimula los sistemas adrenérgico alfa y beta, produce vasoconstricción sistémica y relajación gastrointestinal, estimula el corazón y dilata los bronquios y los vasos cerebrales. Se utiliza en el asma y en la insuficiencia cardíaca y para retrasar la absorción de los anestésicos locales.

Scope note: The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
