Cell Loss and Autophagy in the Extra‐Adrenal Chromaffin Organ of Zuckerkandl are Regulated by Glucocorticoid Signalling
3 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Neuroendocrine chromaffin cells exist in both intra- and extra-adrenal locations; the organ of Zuckerkandl (OZ) constitutes the largest accumulation of extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue in mammals. The OZ disappears postnatally by modes that are still enigmatic but can be maintained by treatment with glucocorticoids (GC).
