没有区别,指的是同一个东西。有时候会区别生理用还是生化用。

epinephrine
【生化】肾上腺素 分子生物学词汇
Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a medication and hormone.As a medication, it is used to treat a number of conditions, including anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, asthma, and superficial bleeding.
Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and medication.Adrenaline is normally produced by both the adrenal glands and a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata, where it acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).
维基百科貌似区分:A是生物合成表达,E是临床、生化、制药等领域的表达。东西是一个东西,来源、用途不一样。
但好像有时候国外也混用。其实看词源,确实没区别:
epinephrine:From Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí, “upon”) + νεφρός (nephrós, “kidney”) + English -ine.
adrenaline:From adrenal + -ine. It is a New Latin calque of Ancient Greek ἐπί (epí, “upon”) + νεφρός (nephrós, “kidney”) + -ine, coined and trademarked by Parke-Davis, subsidiary of pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Originally spelled without the final e.
看词源又好像adrenaline是药用商品名,在epinephrine后出现,有点晕了。
所以就别区别了。
