Normetanephrine
Explanation: Normetanephrine is a metabolite formed when the hormone norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is broken down in the body. Norepinephrine functions as both a hormone and neurotransmitter, playing a key role in the body's "fight or flight" response by increasing heart rate and blood pressure. After fulfilling its role, norepinephrine is metabolized into normetanephrine, which circulates in the blood and is eventually excreted in the urine.
Test Purpose:
- Assess the health of adrenal glands.
- Investigate symptoms such as persistent high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, severe headaches, sweating, and anxiety.
- Assess the condition of the sympathetic nervous system.
