The hormones are released into the blood during times of physical or emotional stress.
Epinephrine and thyroidism
In the study of measurement of the secretion rate of epinephrine in 6 euthyroid, 6 hyperthyroid, and 6 hypothyroid subjects infused at a constant rate for a one hour period with tritiated epinephrine (.01 muc/kg/min) (New England Nuclear Inc.), found that plasma secretion rates averaged 48 +/- 27 mug/kg/day in normal subjects, compared to 54 +/- 18 mu/kg/day in hyperthyroidism and 43 +/- 20 mug/kg/day in hypothyroidism. Likewise, the mean urinary secretion rate was 55 +/- 27 mug/kg/day in normal subjects compared to 60 +/- 22 mug/kg/day in hyperthyroidism and 50 +/- 28 mug/kg/day in hypothyroidism. There is no statistical difference between the values found in the three groups of subjects (plasma and urine). Therefore, these results would indicate that the signs and symptoms encountered in hyperthyroidism are not secondary to a high secretion rate of epinephrine(1).
