The effect of unilateral adrenalectomy on transformation of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells in vivo: a potential mechanism of asthma pathogenesis.
BACKGROUND: Decreased epinephrine (EPI) is an important underlying factor of bronchoconstriction in asthma. Exogenous β(2)-adrenergic receptor agonist is one of the preferred options to treat asthma. We previously showed that this phenomenon involved adrenal medullary chromaffin cell (AMCC) transfor...
