Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, is important for mental focus and emotional stability.

Norepinephrine functions as a neurotransmitter and hormone that regulates the “fight or flight” response and elevates blood pressure and heart rate, stimulates wakefulness, and reduces digestive activity.

Norepinephrine, also called noradrenaline, is an excitatory neurotransmitter produced in the CNS, as well as a stress hormone produced in the adrenal medulla. Norepinephrine is involved in a wide variety of actions including attention, focus, regulating heart rate, affecting blood flow, and suppressing inflammation. Involved in arousal, it prepares the body for action by relaying messages in the sympathetic nervous system as part of the autonomic nervous system’s fight-or-flight response.

Norepinephrine is one of the catecholamines measured in the Catecholamines, Fractionated, Random Urine test.

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, is a hormone and neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal glands, as well as certain nerve cells (neurons) in the sympathetic nervous system. It plays a crucial role in the body's "fight or flight" response, helping to prepare the body for action by increasing heart rate, constricting blood vessels, and raising blood pressure.

Norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline) is one of the catecholamines. Catecholamines are hormones made by the adrenal glands. The three catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenalin), norepinephrine, and dopamine.

The Norepinephrine / Epinephrine ratio is an indicator of epinephrine (adrenaline) conversion (epinephrine is synthesized from norepinephrine). Anxiety, burnout, and poor blood sugar control are associated with a relative epinephrine depletion, and thus an elevated Norepi:Epi ratio.

Normetanephrine, a metabolite of norepinephrine, is at normally low levels in the plasma. Certain tumors increase the levels and will increase the levels of nor-metanephrine. The Normetanephrine test, when normal, means these tumors are not present.

Metanephrine and normetanephrine are breakdown products (metabolites) of the catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. This test measures the amounts of metanephrine and normetanephrine that are released into the urine over a 24-hour period.

Catecholamines are produced by the adrenal glands (as hormones), small triangular organs located on top of each kidney, and by cells of the sympathetic nervous system (called neurotransmitter substances or neurotransmitters). The primary catecholamines are dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine. Catecholamines are released in response to physical or emotional stress. They help transmit nerve impulses in the brain, increase glucose and fatty acid release for energy, dilate small air passages in the lungs called bronchioles, and dilate the pupils. Norepinephrine also constricts blood vessels, which increases blood pressure, and epinephrine increases heart rate and the rate at which the body uses energy (metabolism).

Normetanephrine is an important metabolite of norepinephrine and serves as a marker for the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Measuring normetanephrine levels can provide valuable information for diagnosing and managing certain medical conditions associated with sympathetic nervous system dysfunction.

Norovirus affects people of all ages causing 19 to 21 million illnesses in the US per year. It is the leading contributor to acute gastroenteritis (AGE) across all age groups. While infections can occur year-round, Norovirus outbreaks tend to peak in cold weather. Norovirus infection symptoms include vomiting with watery, non-bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps; occasionally fever, headache, muscle aches, or fatigue.

Norovirus GI & GII, or Norwalk virus, is the most common cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. It is widely known for causing the stomach flu on cruise ships. Three genotypes of this diverse virus, GI, GII, and GIV, can infect humans.

NT-proBNP is a diagnostic screening tool to differentiate between people with normal and reduced left ventricular systolic function.

- N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP) is a non-active prohormone that is released from the same molecule that produces BNP.

- B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone produced by your heart.

- Both BNP and NT-proBNP are released in response to changes in pressure inside the heart. These changes can be related to heart failure and other cardiac problems.

Levels goes up when heart failure develops or gets worse, and levels goes down when heart failure is stable. In most cases, BNP and NT-proBNP levels are higher in patients with heart failure than people who have normal heart function.
