title: Secretion from adrenaline- and noradrenaline-storing adrenomedullary cells is regulated by a common dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel.
abstract: Dihydropyridines (+)-PN200-110 and (+/-)-Bay-K-8644 inhibit or potentiate, respectively, catecholamine release evoked by DMPP- or K-stimulation of perfused cat adrenal glands. Since both, secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline are equally affected, and these two drugs specifically act on voltage-dependent chromaffin Ca channels, it seems that secretion of each amine from their respective cell is regulated by the same type of channel.
