Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) was first identified in
hypothalamus, based on its ability to elevate cyclic AMP in the anterior pituitary. PACAP has …

Synaptic neurotransmission at the splanchnic nerve‐chromaffin cell synapse is a chief
element of the stimulus‐secretion coupling in the adrenal medullary tissue, managing and …

Resveratrol (RESV) is one of the most abundant polyphenol-stilbene compounds found in
red wine with well-established cardioprotective and antihypertensive effects. Hyperactivity of …

Adrenal chromaffin cells release neurotransmitters in response to stress and may be
involved in conditions such as post‐traumatic stress and anxiety disorders. Neurotransmitter …

In the present study, we have electrophysiologically characterized native nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in human chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland as well as …

Excitation–secretion coupling in adrenomedullary chromaffin cells physiologically
commences when acetylcholine molecules released from splanchnic nerve terminals bind to …

This review summarizes our research on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human
chromaffin cells. Limited research has been conducted in this field on human tissue …

Muscarinic receptors are expressed in the adrenal medullary (AM) cells of various
mammals, but their physiological roles are controversial. Therefore, the ionic mechanism for …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Expression of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
(nAChRs) and their role in exocytosis have not yet been examined in human chromaffin …

During the last 10 years, we have been working on human chromaffin cells obtained from
the adrenal gland of organ donors that suffered encephalic or cardiac death. We first …
