The regulated release of catecholamines by a cell or group of cells. The catecholamines are a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of epinephrine. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of epinephrine. The directed movement of catecholamines, a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of epinephrine. The directed movement of epinephrine into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The controlled release of a substance by a cell. The directed movement of hormones into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The regulated release of epinephrine by a cell or group of cells. Epinephrine is a catecholamine hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla and a neurotransmitter, released by certain neurons and active in the central nervous system.
