When stress is intense, such as in a buck sneaking up on you, a phenomenon called fight or flight occurs. Your pituitary gland, which is located at the base of your brain, secrets hormones that regulate many body processes. When you perceive needed action, this gland increases the secretion of hormones called adrenocorticotropic hormone, which causes your adrenal (epinephrine) and cortisol – immediately cause your pulse to quicken, your muscles to tense and your blood pressure to increase. These responses prepare your body to fight the danger or flee.

The brain has over 100 billion nerve cells, or neurons, and the body has millions more. Electrical signals are produced in the brain and transferred through the central nervous system. These electrical signals take energy to produce. The additional energy to fuel the electrical signals are stolen from the energy normally used to fuel the body’s normal function . As energy is depleted so are your muscles’ abilities to perform at peak levels. Since your arms and legs are the furthest from your core they will be the first depleted. This depletion will cause the yips or even greater “BUCK FEVER”.

Your body then increases blood to your muscles, your heart begins to beat faster, your blood pressure increases abruptly. Blood is directed away from your stomach in an effort to feed your brain. Your body also releases potential sources of energy into your bloodstream in the form of blood sugars and fats, and it secrets certain chemicals that will allow your blood to clot in case of an injury.

Your nervous system also moves into action by causing the pupils in your eyes to dilate so that you can see better if light is poor. The muscles in your face also tighten to possibly make you look more menacing.

Perspiration increases to keep your body cool, and respiration accelerates to increase oxygen in your blood. All these changes prepare you for needed action , real or perceived.

Buck Fever Reliever’s proprietary formulation helps create ions and neurotransmitters to increase the efficiency of the brain’s signal transduction leaving more energy for your body’s arms and legs. The results.. no YIPS.

In biology signal transduction refers to any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. Most processes of signal transduction involve ordered sequences of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are carried out by enzymes, activated by secondary messengers, resulting in a signal transduction pathway. Such processes are usually rapid, lasting on the order of milliseconds in the case of ion flux, minutes for the activation of protein- and lipid-mediated kinase cascades, or hours and even days for gene expression. The number of proteins and other molecules participating in the events involving signal transduction increases as the process emanates from the initial stimulus, resulting in a "signal cascade” or “Buck Fever” beginning with a relatively small stimulus that elicits a large response. This is referred to as amplification of the signal.

Phenylalanine can also be converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids. L-tyrosine in turn is converted into L- DOPA , which is further converted into dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline) (the latter three are known as the catecholamines.
