Acceleration of ureteral peristalsis by adrenal compression.

Unilateral adrenal compression resulted in bilateral acceleration of ureteral peristalsiswhich could be reversed by an injection of alpha adrenergic inhibitor, providing additional evidence for the presence of adrenergic receptors in the ureter.

Release of catecholamines and specific protein from adrenal glands.

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.
