Here we investigate the fate of single secretory vesicles after fusion with the plasma membrane by measuring capacitance changes and transmitter release in rat chromaffin cells using the cell ...

Serotonin is produced peripherally by the intestinal chromaffin cells and centrally by nuclei found in the lower pons and upper brain stem (Mills, 1997). It regulates emotional, personality ...

The 2004 WHO classification of endocrine tumors defines pheochromocytoma as a tumor arising from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla -- an intra-adrenal paraganglioma.

Peroxynitrite induces cell death, and can influence signal-transduction processes, mitochondrial function and signalling of apoptosis. The formation and reactions of peroxynitrite play a ...

Phaeochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting tumours, usually benign, originating from chromaffin cells of the adrenal glands. Their typical presentation includes the triad of headaches, ...

This fundamental work substantially advances our understanding of the role of calcium-binding proteins 1 and 2 (CaBP1 and CaBP2) for generating sustained calcium currents in mouse inner hair cells and ...
