So I would say that epinephrine is a hormone while norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter. Both are catecholamines and release of either increases blood glucose.
On a practice test (TBR), I found out that epinephrine stimulates insulin secretion while NE inhibits insulin secretion. But the effect of both is to increase blood glucose? Is there something else going on that I'm not seeing? How is this possible?
