Metabolic Hormones
Adrenaline: Produced by adrenal glands in times of fear or stress; increases heart rate to prepare for "fight or flight".
Thyroxine: Produced by the thyroid gland; stimulates base metabolic rate and is important for growth.
Thyroxine levels are controlled by negative feedback.
Adrenaline is NOT controlled by negative feedback in the same way thyroxine is; it is a rapid response to a specific stimulus.
