Epinephrine: cascade reactions and glycogenolytic effect.
The concept of a cascade reaction may serve to indicate the underlying chemical similarity between several biological amplification processes, and as a basis for the formulation of units that emphasize amplification phenomena in reaction kinetics. This approach is discussed in relation to the glycogenolytic effect of epinephrine.
