Solution

Adrenaline
Adrenaline is the body's activator, and is released in response to anxiety, exercise, or fear. This is the basis of the so-called 'fight-or-flight' reaction. Fright causes the brain to send signals to the adrenal glands which start pumping large amounts of adrenalin into the bloodstream.
