For example, when the adrenilen goes when im really pissed off, everything goes fuzzy.(like im blacking out) and i kick arse. Then i cant rember most of it. Is it the same for other people or is it just me?
Probably in much the same way you could misuse 'effect' instead of 'affect' and even then spell it wrong.Doth said:How can you possibly spell adrenaline wrong?
It's spelled exactly like its pronunciation, a-dren-a-line.
Done and done. I don't see how it can affect people differently when it's the same chemical.Doth said:How can you possibly spell adrenaline wrong?

When in the bloodstream, it rapidly prepares the body for action in emergency situations. The hormone boosts the supply of oxygen and glucose to the brain and muscles, while suppressing other non-emergency bodily processes (digestion in particular).
It increases heart rate and stroke volume, dilates the pupils, and constricts arterioles in the skin and gastrointestinal tract while dilating arterioles in skeletal muscles. It elevates the blood sugar level by increasing catabolism of glycogen to glucose in the liver, and at the same time begins the breakdown of lipids in fat cells. Like some other stress hormones, epinephrine has a suppressive effect on the immune system.

I agree with this, but what I think people are aiming here is how you employ adrenaline surges. It is scientifically verified that some people can control how these affect them (hence athletes before a race, students before an exam, me playing FPS) and when focused in the right direction, it can prove to substantially increase concentration and reduce reaction time. Maybe I'm being terribly ambiguous and inaccurate, but when it's something so instinctive as preparing yourself for action, there is few other ways to describe it other than by the feelings the body experiences at the moment. In fact, and just to explorate further, some people have high adrenaline all the time, such as hyperactives, whilst other can't bear high degrees of it, like cardyopaths. It all depends on the person.Vanguard_Ex said:Done and done. I don't see how it can affect people differently when it's the same chemical.Doth said:How can you possibly spell adrenaline wrong?

Have you ever watched different people take the same drug? Some are climbing up the walls and others are just sitting mellow and placid.Vanguard_Ex said:Done and done. I don't see how it can affect people differently when it's the same chemical.
I cant spell to save my life, sorry. But you seem to know what your talking about.Doth said:How can you possibly spell adrenaline wrong?

=O Oh, that's why I have an Epi-pen for my peanut allergy! Thanks, I... I had no idea why that worked before. o_oDoth said:Like some other stress hormones, epinephrine has a suppressive effect on the immune system.
