title: [Peptide mediators in adrenal chromaffin cells: regulation of catecholamine selective secretion].
abstract: The data obtained suggest a potential mechanism that may account for the selective control of adrenaline and noradrenaline release from adrenal chromaffin cells. Some neuropeptides seem to affect in a different way the release from A- and NA-adrenal cells by means of regulating a set of cytochemical events: specific reception of cholinergic transmitters, expression of the second messenger system including cGMP and changes in Ca channels activity, changes in the catecholamine biosynthesis in adrenal chromaffin cells. Modulating function of substance P, endothelins, PACAP, and ANF, is discussed.
