Definition of Noradrenaline:
Norepinephrine. A catecholamine hormone secreted from the adrenal medulla and post-ganglionic adrenergic fibers in response to hypotension or emotional stress.
Also: Norepinephrine

...as a treatment
“...Both drugs act on certain receptors, making them more susceptible to norepinephrine. This increases alertness, concentration, and short term memory, and improves hand-to-eye coordination...”
Adrenal

“...The medulla produces epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are specifically designed to help the body deal with stressful situations...”
