Why is the adrenal adrenergic?

Endocrine pathology - 1 Jan 2003

Wong Dona L

Abstract excerpt

The adrenal gland is the body's primary source for epinephrine production and release, and the chromaffin cells that comprise the adrenal medulla possess all of the catecholamine biosynthetic machinery, including phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), the enzyme synthesizing epinephrine from norepinephrine. In most species, epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is the predominant...
