The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) regulates our body’s involuntary response to stress or harm. Once activated, it releases hormones and neurotransmitters known as catecholamines throughout the body to mediate its recovery. The catecholamines bind to adrenergic receptors located on various cells in a process designated as adrenergic signaling to elicit this response. This process is not always to our benefit. Adverse symptoms such as anemia can result due to adrenergic signaling. Our laboratory previously showed that burn injury triggers adrenergic receptor stimulation resulting in anemia induced by diminished erythropoiesis. The development of anemia in these studies was found to be …
