Abstract

Adrenal medullary chromaffin cells secrete catecholamines in response to nicotinic agonists (Douglas & Rubin. 1961; Wakade, 1981; Amy & Kirshner, 1982). Several types of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are present on adrenal chromaffin cells, but the role of each type in the catecholamine secretion process remains controversial. (omitted)
