Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is released rapidly in response to immediate stress and is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. Insulin and glucagon are hormones that regulate glucose levels in the blood. Progesterone is a female sex hormone that plays a role in reproductive function. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is released more gradually over a longer period of time in response to stress.
