Release of catecholamines and specific protein from adrenal glands.

چکیده
Rabbit antiserums directed against a purified protein obtained from the catecholamine storage vesicles of the adrenal medulla of the cow were used to study the mechanism of secretion from the adrenal medulla. During secretion evoked by acetylcholine in isolated perfused adrenal glands, catecholamines and the specific intravesicular protein were released in relative amounts comparable to those present in the intact gland. Thus catecholamines are apparently released from the storage vesicles by a process resembling reverse pinocytosis.

Chemerin Peptide Releases Catecholamines from Rat Adrenal Medulla
Background: Chemerin is an adipokine typically known for its role in inflammation. Recent studies suggest that it plays a part in the development of obesity and hypertension. Because of the importance of the sympathetic nervous system in blood pressure control and because the adrenal is an important effector of this system, we hypothesized that chemerin would be present in the adrenal glands an...
متن کاملNPY regulates catecholamine secretion from human adrenal chromaffin cells.
The aim of the present work was to find out whether NPY synthesized in human adrenal chromaffin cells controls in an autocrine/paracrine fashion the release of catecholamines by these cells. Accordingly, the constitutive and regulated release of both NPY and catecholamines was measured simultaneously in cultured human chromaffin cells. In addition, by using both RT-PCR and a combination of spec...
متن کاملRelease of enkephalins and enkephalin-containing polypeptides from perfused beef adrenal glands.
Enkephalins and enkephalin-containing polypeptides were released from perfused bovine adrenal glands by nicotine and Ba2+, agents that release catecholamines. All the enkephalin-containing polypeptides that are normally found in the adrenal medulla were released by the two secretagogues in approximately the same proportions as are present in adrenal chromaffin granules.
متن کاملLocal production and action of adrenomedullin in the rat adrenal zona glomerulosa.
This study was designed to investigate the synthesis and action of adrenomedullin in the rat adrenal gland. The results obtained from in situ hybridization and immunocytochemical studies suggest that adrenomedullin is synthesized not only in the medulla, but also within the zona glomerulosa of the rat adrenal cortex. Findings from in situ hybridization and binding studies also suggested that sp...
متن کاملStress hormones: their interaction and regulation.
Stress stimulates several adaptive hormonal responses. Prominent among these responses are the secretion of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla, corticosteroids from the adrenal cortex, and adrenocorticotropin from the anterior pituitary. A number of complex interactions are involved in the regulation of these hormones. Glucocorticoids regulate catecholamine biosynthesis in the adrenal medu...
