Molecular model of the hormone adrenaline
Adrenaline. Molecular model of the hormone adrenaline, or epinephrine (formula C9H13NO3). The atoms are spherical and colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (light blue) and oxygen (red). Adrenaline is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands above the kidneys. It is released at times of stress or fear to allow the body to work harder for a short time, leading to a " fight or flight" response. It has the effect of increasing the speed and force of the heartbeat, widening the airways to allow the lungs to take in more oxygen, and directing blood to the muscles to allow them to work harder. As a drug, it is used to treat severe asthma and anaphylactic shock

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of the hormone adrenaline, also known as epinephrine. The intricate structure is beautifully represented with spherical atoms color-coded to highlight their composition: carbon in blue, hydrogen in white, nitrogen in light blue, and oxygen in red. Adrenaline is naturally produced in the adrenal glands located above the kidneys. In times of stress or fear, adrenaline is released into our bodies to initiate a remarkable "fight or flight" response. This hormone enables us to push ourselves beyond limits for a short period by increasing heart rate and strength, widening airways for enhanced oxygen intake, and directing blood flow towards muscles for increased performance. Beyond its natural function within our bodies, adrenaline serves as an important drug used to treat severe asthma and anaphylactic shock. Its chemical properties make it effective at combating these conditions by providing relief and stabilizing patients during critical situations. The molecular model captured here not only represents the complexity of this vital hormone but also highlights its significance within biochemistry research and medical advancements. It stands as a testament to the incredible intricacies found within nature's own compounds that continue to inspire scientists worldwide.
