2. Noradrenaline
   A neurotransmitter or chemical released by the nerve cells or neurons in the brain and the adrenal medulla. Noradrenaline plays a significant part in depression. One of two chemicals (the other is adrenaline) released by the adrenal gland that increases the speed and force of heart beats. It dilates the airways to improve breathing and narrows blood vessels in the skin and intestine. An increased flow of blood then reaches the muscles and allows them to cope with the demands of exercise, stress and in some cases fear.
