It connects to neural receptors in the brain that are typically reserved for acetylcholine when it enters the body. This sets off a series of cascade effects in the body. The adrenal glands are first stimulated, which causes them to begin secreting a lot of adrenaline further into body. This "flight or fight" hormone speeds up breathing and heart rate. Because blood pressure increases along with heart rate, the material is also partially to blame for a number of vascular diseases. Therefore, the rise in the vascular diseases will cause a hindrance in the market growth.
