Examplesofadrenaline
adrenalineThe results obtained using adrenergic agonists and antagonists suggest that the effect ofadrenalinewould be due to an interaction with 2-receptors.From theCambridge English CorpusHence, they would "burn out" on a task earlier than other folk and would need a greater infusion ofadrenalineto fuel the system.From theCambridge English CorpusFor those who enjoy the occasional frisson of mindnumbing fear, the ultimateadrenalinerush is a mountain hurtling from the sky.From theCambridge English CorpusAdditionally, in males only, age is negatively associated withadrenalineexcretion rate, whereas in females there is a weak positive association.From theCambridge English CorpusIt is only withadrenalinethat a dosage is set out.From theCambridge English CorpusIn severe cases, anaphylaxis with angioedema, respiratory compromise and hypotension can prove fatal without the prompt administration ofadrenaline.From theCambridge English CorpusAs a last resort, he was givenadrenaline, injected directly into his heart.From theCambridge English CorpusExperiments using adrenergic agonists and antagonists allowed us to determine that the metabolic effect ofadrenalineis caused by interaction with 2-receptors.From theCambridge English CorpusThe exceptions to the switch areadrenalineand noradrenaline, where manufacturers will be encouraged to use both names on product packaging and literature.From theCambridge English CorpusA normal cardiac rhythm and output was established after administration ofadrenalinevia an endotracheal tube.From theCambridge English CorpusHowever, pretreatment withadrenalinecaused a significant inhibition of progesterone-induced meiotic resumption while, with noradrenaline, inhibition was noticeably lower.From theCambridge English CorpusHowever, pretreatment of the follicles withadrenalineresulted in a significant inhibition of progesteroneinduced nuclear maturation while, with noradrenaline, this inhibition was markedly lower.From theCambridge English CorpusChallenge or risk, something to literally get theiradrenalinepumping, can be key to keeping their attention and to eliciting optimum performance.From theCambridge English CorpusThe present results concerning the effect ofadrenalineon nuclear maturation would support this mechanism of action.From theCambridge English CorpusThe use ofadrenaline(epinephrine), on the other hand, induced a metabolic change which made oocytes cytoplasmically mature.From theCambridge English CorpusThese examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
