Explanation

Epinephrine, when given in high doses intravenously, typically increases liver glycogenolysis, causes extrasystoles in the heart, and produces symptoms like restlessness and anxiety. However, instead of constricting, epinephrine actually causes bronchodilation, relaxing the airway muscles. Therefore, bronchiolar constriction is not an effect of epinephrine.
