A technique was devised to monitor plasma catecholamines in a minimally obtrusive fashion in subjects going about their working activities. There was a disparity between plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levels in different situations. During public speaking, epinephrine levels increase twofold, whereas during physical exercise, norepinephrine levels increase threefold. It seemed that while exercise induces a response of the sympathetic nervous system, psychological stress induces primarily an adrenal response.
设计了一种技术，以微创方式监测从事工作活动的受试者的血浆儿茶酚胺。在不同情况下，血浆去甲肾上腺素和肾上腺素水平存在差异。在公开演讲期间，肾上腺素水平会增加两倍，而在体育锻炼期间，去甲肾上腺素水平会增加三倍。似乎运动引发交感神经系统的反应，而心理压力主要引发肾上腺反应。
