RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Release of Catecholamines and Specific Protein from Adrenal Glands JF Science JO Science FD American Association for the Advancement of Science SP 529 OP 531 DO 10.1126/science.154.3748.529 VO 154 IS 3748 A1 Kirshner, Norman A1 Sage, Harvey J. A1 Smith, W. James A1 Kirshner, Annette G. YR 1966 UL http://science.sciencemag.org/content/154/3748/529.abstract AB 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.
