Having physiological effects similar to those of epinephrine: an adrenergic amine. ad′re·ner′gi·cal·ly adv.Adrenergic adjective Referring to (1) Neural activation by catecholamines—e.g., adrenaline/epinephrine, noradrenaline/norepinephrine, dopamine. (2) Sympathetic nerve fibres that liberate catecholamines into a synapse. noun Any agent with adrenergic-agonist activity.adrenergic adjective Referring to 1.

Relating to nerve cells or fibers of the autonomic nervous system that employ norepinephrine as their neurotransmitter. Compare: cholinergic2. Relating to drugs that mimic the actions of the sympathetic nervous system. See: alpha (α)-adrenergic receptors, beta (β)-adrenergic receptors[adren- + G. ergon, work]adrenergic Having effects similar to those of ADRENALINE. Drugs with adrenaline-like action are called adrenergic. A nerve which releases noradrenaline (a substance closely related to adrenaline) at its endings to pass on its impulses to other nerves, or to muscle fibres, is described as an adrenergic nerve.adrenergic (of nerve endings) secreting ADRENALINE and NORADRENALINE on the arrival of a NERVE IMPULSE. These substances then stimulate the effector nerve fibres in the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM of many vertebrates in much the same way as ACETYLCHOLINE acts as a transmitter substance in CHOLINERGIC nerve fibres.AdrenergicActivated by adrenalin (norepinephrine), loosely applied to the sympathetic nervous system responses.Mentioned in: Alpha 1 -Adrenergic Blockers, Antihypertensive Drugsadrenergic 1.
