Friedrich Stolz (1860—1936) was a German chemist and, in 1904, the first person to artificially synthesize epinephrine Epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter.. It increases heart rate, contracts blood vessels, dilates air passages and participates in the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. Chemically, epinephrine is a catecholamine, a monoamine produced only by the adrenal glands from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine (adrenaline Epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter..
