The study of adrenal chromaffin of fish, Carassius auratus (Toleostei).

30 Mar 2008 In C. auratus the adrenal chramaffin tissue is situated around the posterior cardinal veins, in the head kidney. Chromaffin tissue consists of two types of cells containing secretory granules, adrenaline and nor adrenaline cells. The cells produced ... Read more...

Different adrenal sympathetic preganglionic neurons regulate epinephrine and norepinephrine secretion.

30 Oct 2000 Brain stimulation or activation of certain reflexes can result in differential activation of the two populations of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells: those secreting either epinephrine or norepinephrine, suggesting that they are controlled by ... Read more...

Ultrastructural localization of nerve terminals containing nitric oxide synthase in rat adrenal gland.

7 Feb 1996 Immunoelectron microscopy was performed to localize immunoreactivity for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in rat adrenal gland. NOS-immunoreactive (NOS-ir) nerve fibers were observed around blood vessels and endocrine cells in the zona glomerulosa of the ... Read more...
